someone please clarify this
well, it's said and done now i can tell you. xs engineering did it for him. it's running good, except the tranny. but the power is there man

Say's he is running an XS/Garrett GT3540 water-cooled Turbo

Looks like XS Engineering was able to pull this off.
yup, very true. but i can also tell you, 8k sounds like very few money for what's to be done. ryan he spent A LOT MORE on his single turbo

Yeah I was about to say, it should cost about double that price after tuning, unless you DIY. Considering SRT charges 20-30k for a TT set up, how much less could a single be?

Yup. His car is not just about power. I'm trying to find time to get some pics of his car we got from HIN (April ) up onto the LexusGoneWild site.

Here are the "old" specs on his car since there are some changes coming.

We are going to have a full article on Ry's car on the LGW site, but unfortuantely we are legally bound not to show much of his car right now, since it will be featured in a Magazine article in the near future.

Before people ask, the magazine and the date are still up in the air. There is a possibility that we may get our article up first.

His will be the first of several FI cars to be feaured on the LGW site over the next year. .

Stay Tuned

I believe they are Recaros custom upholstered to match the OEM leather. Nice !
