Default 2009 LS460 twin turbos?

Wanted to see if anyone has put twin turbos on their 460 or even just one turbo. I wouldn’t mind doing it but if so can someone recommend the proper brand and kit that is compatible with the 460. I have seen them supercharged but I don’t want that want that.

Hope you have deep, and I mean DEEP pockets. It will be all custom, from charge piping, to standalone EMS (if even possible due to the complexity of all the OEM systems onboard), fuel system, etc. You bought the wrong car it sounds like.

I think all EMS for LS FI is piggy back . TMG and HKS all use piggyback EMS.

Finding someone to try and build a harness won't be cheap either, as I seriously doubt anyone offers a PnP for the USF chassis.

MoTeC, Syvecs, Haltech, Link, Emtron, Cosworth, etc are all excellent choices for standalones.

Lexus just filed a patent for a twin-turbo v8. Wait for couple of years and buy such engine from a wracked car.

...no. Leaving it NA is best. Think of how much exhaust piping you would need to merge both banks into one to feed a turbo on the exducer side.

you’re right since LS460 has its own special type of air intake that Lexus made specifically for that engine
