Default turbo?

Our IS's are fast, and with intake and all they get faster, but not by much. I want my car to fly off the line and turbo seems to be the only way. Any other ideas? or info about getting the car turbo charged? Its an '01, so automatic.

Go look in the engine section. There are Superchargers out, and right now there are two Tubro's with another one just coming out, and almost ready to ship.

There are 2 SC's out, and almost 3 turbo's out unless I'm missing one.

i believe the reason brian (fairuza11) did not list XS E although he knows they make one is because they have either dropped the project or been dormant really long.

That would explain why I know hardly nothing about them.

Default TBKO Bolt-on for E-Shift

I talked to Jeff at TBKO and he told me that they are working on the E-shift version as we speak. He gave me a rough estimate of $6500 for the kit and it would produce somewhere in the 300 + RWHP range. Their website is not yet fully populated, but they are working on getting that done soon.
