I kind of wish they gave us a timeline or a percentage completion, or at least have mentioned a release date/year. Because now it just feels like an eternity.

I am way too excited for this!

So a bit of an update.

We have been in development for quite a while on this project. It is something we and the community have been very excited about. Unfortunately it does not look like we will be able to complete the project due to emissions regulations from both CARB and the EPA. We know that there are plenty of customers who do not care about emissions legality. However, because of our standing with CARB and their regulations of our parts, we cannot risk being shut down from selling a kit like this with such a large financial investment.

Hopefully, you guys will listen this time when I say this.
In working for Lexus, I have had the opportunity to speak with engineers. I've been told that no one can apply a turbo or supercharger to a Lexus without the company's permission.
I've also met tuner companies that have tried and gave up.
We are stuck with what the manufacturer puts out.

You aren't listening, are you?

You can put a turbo or supercharger on any car. But tuning it to work properly and cleanly is the issue. Lexus does not allow it's engine management systems to be manipulated by anyone outside of themselves. So many things rely only proper fuel burn. Proper timing. Proper.....well, I hope you get the point. Without Lexus help, it won't be done.

So try it. Install a turbo from the 200t to a 350. See what happens.

No manufacturer allows anyone to tamper with the ECU but it's still entirely possible unless Lexus is going after people in court (but that would be against the law).

The turbo off a 200t on a 350 would be extremely inefficient though.

Unless you used two of them (turbos from the 200t).

Default YES Get it done.

I'm dying for more HP for my 2013 gs 350 f sport. Lexus failed in just adding better suspension and minor tune which is fine but they could've given the F sport line at least 350 hp. Sad that the f sport line has less HP compared to its competitors like Infiniti and BMW. Please make this kit cause i will BUY that ****.

And it was a prototype. Sadly it appears it is still that. I would pay for a supercharger or a turbo kit in a heartbeat.

Don't understand why you can't market it for offroad use only etc.
