I hear that the SC turbosystem is adaptable to the IS300. A 400hp IS300 would KICK ****. I am a V8 guy but look forward to some FAST 300s. Any prospective turbo guys?

Yes,

there are a number of Turbo IS's running around.
XS engineering has one, and a number of other places do as well....Swift Racing has a SC coming out in all 4 stages.....

One guy from www.is300.net named TurboIS has the XS engineering turbo and ran it at the track...

He ran a 13.02 with his turbo on a 12PSI shot and only 60% throttle (he had a throttle problem) Since then he added a 6SP shifter and i believe is going for a 20PSI shot.....

VERY FAST!!!!!!!!!

there a Tons of Mods out and coming out for the IS, Just wait

Very cool.

http://www.is300.net/ is a very good site with great links. I look forward to some 400hp IS300s running around. Instead of hon-duh they will be saying Lex-US.
BTW, very interesting ownership demographics on the car.
