I think you guys should do a lip kt instead. Ive been around since 08, and no one has been able to crack the ECU successfully. It isnt hard to piece together a s/c kit, ultimately ones gonna end up running meth, with a standalone and or piggy back. The cars still gonna run lean, with ~ 50 whp added.

Sorry but Stillen knows more then you and has been around longer then 2008. Even tho no one has cracked the ECU but sounds like they already have and that's why they are seeing if there is a market for it.
I'm all in for this kit.

Honestly. I would love the supercharger. But then again 6-7 grand, no warranty, not carb legal is a huge upset for me. With 60k price tag I'd rather get the m3 or m4.
I feel like all these Lexus parts are priced high because of the demand too.
Not sure if anyone you saw the build from another member here supposedly he was the first one to get his 4gs supercharged. At the end he started to loose power and ended up taking all the parts off.

Most SC kits are not cheap. Nissan/Infiniti Kits go for $7000-$8000 and Ford, Dodge, Chevy kits are in the same range. Price point is reasonable for the market and age of the car. We know not everyone will be interested. On your point of warranty and CARB, there is always a chance we will go for this on the kits later on. It all depends on how successful they are.
WRT the warranty, who would spend $6-7k without a warranty to permit Stillen to ginny pig my $60k Lexus? May I suggest a discount until the system has been proven reliable?

is it possible for u guys at STILLEN to make those work with the 2IS too?... i am sure its not much of a difference between 3IS and 2IS engine wise... its a unchanged 2GR-FSE so if u guys at STILLEN can make it possible for the 2IS aswell that would be truely awesome...

biggame has one of the most comprehensive builds for the 4GS that I've come across.
His experience & knowledge has to be duly noted. If in fact the ECU was cracked and you are able to tune the car, please provide more details as STILLEN with be the ONLY company out there to have done this.
$6K price is very reasonable & almost a non-factor if you're the ONLY company being able to do this. Exclusivity means a lot in the aftermarket parts industry.
Excited to hear more, especially if things can be done to maintain reliablity (one of the main reasons why we bought this car after all) and keep things LEGAL!
