Turbocharged IS 300 Possibly Toyomoto or XS Engineering Turbocharger
386.6hp at 6000 to 6500 RPM
355.6 torque at 5300 RPM
Seems like bullshit to me.

With a Turbo, anything's possible.
Remember they can very easily swap out with the Supra's Turbo Engine the 2jz-gte, one of the best bottom ends for turbo application ever. At BPU the 2jz-gte turns 450 at the crank 400 at the wheels. So 380 is pretty damn easy to achieve. BPU can cost as cheap as $1200.

I read some of these posts and the cars were not driveable after the turbos. The transmission wouldn't shift into the next gears. I don't know if it was this exact set-up, but this happened to one of the first guys who had his car turbo'd.

Besides, the best idea would be to get an IS300 in 2001 with a 5 speed already in it, then there's no hassle with shift speeds, tranny overheating etc (at least its driver controlled)
