Sell that thing, get an STi.

IIRC, the IS300 uses the same block as the Supra and is just as capable of holding insane levels of boost.

Youll need to swap out the IS tranny for a Supra 6 speed to hold it though - the IS 5spd is a POS and the clutch wont hold the power.

i checked out that sight puggg, but it said it was for a honda civic or an acura rsx, not an IS300.

Kill,

Call these guy's and ask for Nik. However, their not a turbo but they use the Vortec Superchargers. Might be another solution. I'm planning to get the stage 2 kit mid-summer from these guys for my Miata.

Mmmm.... supercharged Miata.... mmmmmmm

Yeah Mike, a Supercharged Miata

I got to drive a Stage 2 Saturday.. that sealed my deal to get the Vortec damn thing had me GRRIIINNNING from ear to ear. It's preatty hard to bark the tires in 3rd gear with a Miata..lol

I tested them all from a Kenny Bell at 15psi(this car was the most fun but hard to drive day to day), to a 6 psi Greddy Turbo to a Jackson S/C 6psi.

Does that come with an LSD or does the Miata have one standard?

Funk depends upon the model and year. Pre 1994 had Viscous-type limited-slip differential any sort of power mod's result to breackage as they were very weak... 1995 - 2002 Torsen limited-slip rear differential, and the their new Tochigi-fuji torque-sensing LSD for all new models 2003 and up
.
If you don't have a Sport, LS(option) or Special eddition you don't get a LSD unless you convert. Standard 1999 and up have open diff's and can be quickly converted to a Torsen LSD. I'll be making the conversion sometime. But, unless your in the rain theres not that big of a difference between the two.
