Have you already driven an IS-F?

So a stock IS-F will push 335-355 HP to wheels, add a JoeZ intake and exhaust and you got a cheap extra 30 RWHP, add to that a ECU tune and you are looking at 390-400 RWHP depending on the gas, while keeping the driveability, comfort and reliability, one come to expect from a Lexus

Turbos setup exist, Artisan has one, retails for $17.500, supposed to take the IS-F up to 527hp/492tq, but there are a lot of unanswered question about the odd setup (turbo in the back, a ton of piping and questionable lubrification).

Was it nice enough ?

Perfect, thank you

hawaiidude,

I guess I'd ask that if you're "really new to this car stuff" why you would think about adding a turbo to a reasonably high powered brand new car? It's a pretty expensive entry point and an extensive modification for a newbie to cars who doesn't know the difference between a turbo and twin turbo.

Far be it from me not to be welcoming to new members questions (glad to have you here), but from your only post I don't have a good sense about you being a bona-fide interested enthusiast in Lexus cars or the IS-F. So if you could share a little bit more about your background and what you are looking for you'd put a bit of my 'troll alert' at ease and members (like timeToy) would be glad to help you with some basics. Why don't you PM me please.
