This question is addressed to the IS owners who are currently getting turbos installed.

How is the install progressing?

Any word on when the particular turbo you are using will hit the market?

If you don't mind me asking who is installing your turbo in miami? The only reason I ask is, that I live in miami.
By any chance is it Toyomoto?

I basically ordered my turbo kit in January, expecting it to be completed in March (meaning installed) I am still waiting for it to be shipped and have heard nothing about it in the last week. I was looking forward to the race season which started in March, but never did I expect that I wouldn't be ready for Hot Import Nights on July 7th. So that is the status of my kit. Hopefully on Monday I'll know more.

the pic you posted was that your kit? and did they ship it yet? or were they supposed too? good luck with it, I am sure I will see you at races and show in the end of the summer, I hope things get cleared up for you and your kit gets to you asap.

Have a little patience, I don't know why he may be taking so long. But I do know he is a trustworthy person. Sometimes it takes him a little while, because he's overwhelm with work. I also heard he was out of town for last week, but didn't hear if he will be back by monday. I'm planning on visiting him next week or when he arrives. Will ask him on the progress.

I've known Lance for years, hes worked on all of my cars, and never has he let me down. Now he does take his time, but sometimes that's good.

Take care

From what I hear Lance is a great tuner for our cars, that I dont disagree on but 7 months for a turbo is a long time...I am sure it will be well worth the wait, I just feel bad for accord-r cause that has to be nerve racking..

I couldn't agree more. If I swing by there next week, I'll be sure to ask him, why the delay on the turbo kits. I'll post the answer.

I just got an email from FMAX and they said their turbo will not work w/the IS 300.

They also said that they are currently developing one for the IS.
