They really did a nice job on this concept build.... 
^^ Just buy looking at the gallery...
There is no H connection... the secondary cats are gone for sure and they are replaced with a pair of resonators & looks like the OEM Tips have remained...

There is no way the Orange car comes in at $6k for the turbo upgrade. Just the engine rebuild pieces would cost half of that amount. Plus, you need to install everything and that would be a royal pain in the *** for costs since it is a one off project right now. It would no doubt be cool to see done but this forced induction project will cost some money for anyone doint it.
The two MAJOR issues for putting a turbo on a Lexus ISXXX is that it has a crazy encripted computer management system and the compression ratio is high on most engines. Now the engine can be rebuilt with some money but the computer issues will be a ***** to figure out. Someone has to program all of the parameters for the car. That won't be easy to say the least.
