Yesterday I started piecing together the twin turbo setup that I'll be installing on my is250!

Damn, can't wait to see what you make of this. Should be awesome. Is this the longest you've ever kept a car? Lol

Yeah this is the longest I've ever owned a car. I didn't think about turboing it up until I read a thread on Monday morning about someone attempting this. I believe they were still in the planning stages but I couldn't wait so I pulled the trigger on the parts yesterday. If all goes as smoothly as I plan... She'll be boosted and running by next Friday

dang, you work fast

It took me 2 weeks spending a little time after work each night to solder/complete a LED swap. In that same amount of time you're finishing up a twin turbo setup

I'm an impulsive buyer so I did some research, checked the bank account and pulled the trigger on the parts before I backed out lol

No idea how many turbo'd is250's but there is couple supercharged 2is running around. Not sure if it is safe to say that I'll be the first twin turbo is250
