What are you looking for a link to? I don't know of any kits available yet. I hear RR is making one, just have to wait and see what they come out with.
I still feel the upgrade to 350 would be money better spent. Plus if you ever sell you'll get way better resale from a stock 350 than a modded 250.
Hooray for Canadian butt rape tax!!
A kit might be cheaper, but by the time you factor installation, new plugs, coolant, engine oil, etc, etc. You're pushing around the 10k$ mark for most quality Supercharger kits.

Forget going FI (forced induction) on the is250. You will get bored real quick after dumping over at least 10k in parts and install.
Sell the Lexus and get a Focus RS.That little thing is a beast with 350hp and tq with awd launch control. With a tune and down pipe easily push 400 to wheel.
Don't forget you are going to kill the Lexus resale value after adding turbo. Best keep it for ever

Don't waste your time and money on a turbo or supercharger for a IS250.
After spending about 8000~10000 then you might able to match the power of a stock IS350 and voiding your warranty.
Trade it in for a different car ie. used IS350 or a Fusion Sport.
Even the Fusion 2.0T AWD will beat the IS250 in performance.
If you are looking for power shouldn't have bought a 250 in the first place.

This. I've seen so many people try to add power to a vehicle only to upgrade soon after. The 250 (even the 350 in my opinion) were designed a bit more conservative. If you really want a powerful car go American or German

If you wanted pure power at that price range, you should've just gotten a V8 Mustang. I'm always baffled at people trying to FI at IS250. If you wanted more power and am willing to throw 10k on it, why didn't you get a 350 in the first place? It's about 5k more, same amount of HP gains you would from FI (~100 at the crank) and 1000x more reliable - and not to mention NA.
