Looks great mate.

Couple of questions, why you still using the MAF? can it handle the air flow when boosted? would you not be better changing to MAP?

Also the HKS filters are renown as pretty useless, you may be better with an apexi or k&n

But still, awesome work mate

Hi mate, yea the MAF will be ok for now, i dont want to go changing things over now, as im still useing the the LS400 ECU, when i get a standalone ECU next year, i will do all that then, as for the filter i had a HKS one before and it worked well, i dont think there is much in it, apexi dont make a filter this big or K&N

Fair enough about the MAF, if your still using the Lexus ECU.
what ECU you planning to go with?

have you seen this before: http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/filters_test/2/

Also K&N do make big filters:

Whats that you have ? you talking about the Links ECU ?

My IS-V8-Turbo - Sparkystav - 30-05-2017

I have the G4 Storm (the slightly lesser only, has 4 ignitor channels (but its set on a wasted spark system, ie two fire at once even though only ones needed, so only 3 channels are needed)

LINK ecu's as in here: http://www.linkecu.com/
