Default Twin Turbo ISF Reading Material

Hi Guys

I stumbled on that black 2008 ISF turbocharged by Bob Norwood in Texas for sale on eBay again ...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lexus-IS-Base-Sedan-4-Door-2008-LEXUS-ISF-TWIN-TURBO-NORWOOD-NAVIGATION-SAT-RADIO-SUNROOF-HEATED-/291114553688?forcerrptr=true&hash=item43c7c79158&item=291114553688&pt=US_Cars_Trucks
My curiosity got me researching a bit about it, and I found a chapter in a book available for preview on Google Books about their process. Interesting read ISF turbocharging starts on page 262. A few of the pages are cut out though thanks to copyrights, does anyone own this book?

http://books.google.com/books?id=KZS...page&q&f=false

I enjoyed the technical read, thought I'd share.

I wonder what the numbers are for HP/TQ/PSI...

Also wonder if this setup constantly throws CEL and how the tranny is holding up.

Interesting find, thanks OP!

The wategate setup on this car is horrible. Probably runs horribly considering the sale history of the car.

My thoughts exactly. I bet it's a finicky piece of work if no one wants to keep it long.
