Default Turbo kits for 2016 GS 350 F-Sport

Well I just purchased a 2016 GS 350 F-Sport and waiting till it arrives from Japan. While i'm waiting I was wondering if they have came out with any Turbo Kits for the 2016 model yet. Also can anyone point me in the right direction for after market performance parts?

Thanks

Haven't seen/heard of any kit for the 4GS, stillen was working on a supercharger but they say it came to a halt due to CARB/EPA. From what I've read, Lexus ecu is pretty hard to work with.

Lexus ECU is unbreakable so far, I wouldn't count on a turbo for the 3.5l v6. The 2.0t, maybe some room for tuning there, but they might have everything so locked down it's not worth the trouble.

Lexus is just not a tuner car. Infiniti seems to be more tuner friendly and I bet the new TTV6 they're putting in some of them now is going to be a tuner's dream, if it can hold power.

If u want to tune a car Bmw is your bet and 535 twin turbo is your way to go. Lots of option to tune it.

Audi and VW also...most of them are a chip tune away from more power.

As far as I know, RR Racing is working on a supercharger kit for the IS350. No idea when they'll be done.

Too true, but anyone asking about turbo kits should be prepared to deal with getting stranded anyway. Anyone tuning an already turbocharged engine is in a better position by default.

RR racing has also created a tune for these engines as well. Swing bu the IS part of the forum to read up on it. Maybe it will be compatible with the GS350.

A little research before purchase would have helped. It sounds like you bought the wrong car based on your interests and user name...

Twin-turbocharged V6 (Toyota Engine Code 943F) that will presumably power the new Lexus GS

Aww yeah, read about that today. Perfect timing too. I'm either getting an Infiniti Red Sport with 400hp or another GS F Sport, either one will be a 3 year lease...and by the time either one is up, shazam, this will be on the lots.
