Wikipeida?
ok i was bored so i read up about our cars on wiki. this is what they had to say:
"Tuning
The second generation IS already has a variety of tuning parts from famous Japanese tuning companies. Although the new IS has only been on the market for a short period of time, there are already a number of body kits for it, showing the high demand for aftermarket tuning parts. In 2007, the Japanese TOM'S aftermarket tuning firm produced a modified IS 350 with a revised ECU, new air filter, modified exhaust, and additional available performance enhancements ranging from suspension to brakes.[20] There are currently no compatible turbochargers for the IS250/350. Superchargers however, are available by companies LMS, and TOM'S producing close to 400 horsepower or more."

Toms has cracked it, but the Japanese ECU is different from the US ECU....not sure if they are working on the US verseion or if there is enough demand for it.....Its on their website and specifically states that it is ONLY for the Japanese domestic vehicles.

All Cars Tuned By Toms Are Requried To Send Their Ecus Over Rendering Your Car Useless For A Couple Of Weeks. I Dont Think Your Gonna Get Much Out Of The Toms Ecu Either, Doesnt Seem Like It Will Add Much Power (if Any), It Will Just Makes The Car And The Pedal Feel More Responsive. If Ur Gonna Supercharged Then U Have To Do It, Otherwise I Think Tis Pointless. Just My 2 Cents
