do some research everyone knows there was no tuning done on the car even though artisan said there was. The turbo is only running wastegate pressure and had a water injection kit running on top of it to try and keep it safe.

^^^ The reason is because we've been talking about this car since 2009 when it was first conceived. For people who have been on the forum for awhile, this is old news and has been discussed to death already.
Use Search to find the existing threads. Plenty of info about the Artisan ISF (and the ensuing collapse of Turbochargers.com) is included.

Holy crap...625hp @ 6spi? on everything Stock? Holy crap. Now how easy would it be for Lexus to slap a super charger on this motor for 550hp and put it in the GS-F?!?!?!?!

Since this is acutally a 2008 IS-F which debuted @ SEMA 2008, as 1 of the 4 Lexus Project cars built for the Lexus USA booth... by various companies under contract in that time period.
Some pics of the 2008 SEMA IS-F's from the Lexus booth.... Joe Z

Car has 13,834 miles on it now and just drove to NJ for HIN/NOPI. It's a street car, NOT a show car. I drive that ****, beat the **** out of it, and the tranny loves ever minute of it.
So the point is, I use it HARD my friend..haha. Cars are meant to drive, not to sit in the garage doing nothing.
