Fox Marketing just give some info that the F have Turbo dual wastegates with dunk tubes, a pair of rear-mounted Turbonetics turbochargers and an intercooler . Hanging out of the back end are four stacked exhaust tips, bringing an end to the total of 114 feet of custom piping used in this F.

I agree it looks horrible!

There is a blue F on YouTube with an exhaust mounted twin turbo kit. It's seems to be running just fine. There was also one on e bay a few months ago.

I wouldnt say it was a scam b/c they didnt try to sell anyone anything, more like false claims and advertisement. If i remember correctly, when asked about the set up and dyno results on the supercharged IS350c (400+hp claim) and the turbo IS-f (600+ hp claim) they would simply ignore or defer the answer. There was a whole thread on it where there was about 3 pages of heated conversation which was pretty entertaining.

Car looks nice cosmetically tho.

Its from the door being open not a code. The check engine light and vsc would go off if there was a code. I know I have headers.
