Fellas, thanks for all the compliments. It is just soooooo fast now. You should see what I do to every car I meet on the road. WOOOSH = CYA!!!

IS200 3SGTE, you are right my friend. The engine is simply amazing. The 2JZ engine is simply a brilliant engine with ingenious design.

For those of you who care how much?? It cost $11,000 installed for the turbo, intercooler, intercooler piping, fuel system, etc. It does not include the exhaust, gauges, boost controller, etc.

you know what would be sweet one of those turboed gs's race a turboed is and see who wins. I am thinking the is would win because of a weight advantage??

the IS would win from a dead dig if they were matched on HP and torque, on the highway it would be close.

simply awesome man now time to go for 700+HP!

Default BOV caused a ruckus

Wxman,
You caused a ruckus here in the office yesterday with that video. I had a couple people stop by to hear the turbine whoosh and decided to send a link out. Pretty soon, everyone in the office was on the boost. It sounded like a squadron of Tomcats taking off.
Thanks for making my day, and for showing us a very well thought-out video of the action on the dyno. Let us know how the 2JZGE and clutch hold up to your abuse. I know I'm already planning a call to PHR.

Everything I have ran across. WRX, BMW M5, mustangs, etc. The M5 I absolutely massacred. I actually was pulling past him with my car sideways!!!! I beat him to 60 mph by about 4 car lengths. It is not even funny how bad a massacre them too. I have over 300 rwtq by the time I hit 3500 rpm and over 400 rwtq by 4000 rpm. That = quick death for them.
