I love the way the car shines! I have a black onyx and I want that shine. I heard you use 7 coats of wax, and 1 coat of Show wax. Is that true. I just want to make sure of the brand.

TurboIS, VERY nice. I like the design of the turbo header. Has it been dyno'd? Are you going to take it to the track? How much boost are you running? Keep us posted.

420 hp to the wheels @ 12psi....

When I drive on the street I have the boost set to 6psi.

I have ran the car at the track once, but do to some transmisson problems.. I ran a 13.8 @6psi and only 60% throttle. The run would of been somewhere in the 12's if the transmission was shifting right....

WOW, 420rwhp at 12psi. The stock IS makes about 160rwhp so you are picking up apx 260rwhp at 12psi. If you are gaining half that, 130rwhp at 6psi you should have around 290rwhp. With the IS weight and gearing I agree that 12 sec slips are waiting on you.

TurboIS---- that is some setup you got there.... question objectively.... what does XS do so different to get 420 rwhp at 13psi when it takes toyomoto 18-23 to get similar results? are they that damn good?:eek:

I think it might be my Turbo Manifold, It has full runners. Or it could be the Turbo that XS put in... It has some nice tweaks in it......
