There are turbo kits out there for the IS. I've seen a couple here in the NW. Only bad part is they don't race them . I think they just got them for the BOV sound sometimes.

Whats up my name is Matt, one of the new memebers of the StreetHeat crew. I am the owner of the Blue IS300 that was at StreetHeat. Weird to see this posted. My car is currently at Toyomoto Inc. in Miami, Fl. We are doin the V-160 Getrag 6-speed swap....Along with the turbo kit. The kits listed on the Toyomoto website are no longer those prices..Lance also uses different parts than listed. I will leave the specifics to that. If anyone needs info about Toyomoto jus PM me. I can answer alot...As far as just doing a 2JZ-GTE swap..As most may think its just a direct fit...Think again..this is at least a 3-4 month install and a bill of aobut $50,000. The wiring involved to complete this swap is nuts! :o Only one 2JZ-GTE IS300 is runnin around in Maryland right now. If it was easy there would be plenty doing it. We are one of 3 other people alone to even do the 6-speed swap. It takes patience and a damn good tuner. Honestly..the IS300 suks w/o forced induction. It really does! But the 2JZ can take sooo much power on stock internals....When I get the car back I will be sure to attend my first Tampa racing meet so you guys can see it in person. Hope everyone is having a good holiday.

If anyone needs anything just PM me or call the shop...

Totally Street..Lance is using a new turbo He calls it a T67 but it has a longer name...He found it at SEMA this year..Im the first to put it on an IS300.The Venom Honda Civic uses this same turbo..We should put down just under 600rwhp...Im doin new internals next year...goal is to hit 700hp...Will take about a year though..Who is tuning your Haltech?
