IS350 Turbo or supercharge?

Supercharge is your best bet for the car, they're a rare breed here, but the few of us who have done it swear by it

check the various supercharger build threads like the one above, mine, hks350, johnnyboy, mikellucci, pepos, isuxel.

You're looking at very roughly $5k. A procharger blower alone will run you $2300 new.

ive always been a bigger fan of turbochargers vs superchargers. but alot of times its dependent on the application, one vs the other. but these cars id choose a supercharger all day. bascially will become a torque monster

superchargers would get my vote. More power down low and more reliable.

If it makes you feel any better we just pumped out 446whp out of a 2IS 350 with our SC kit, PPE headers, dual exhaust and a tune. And it was on pump gas.

Nice! How much is the kit and install and are there any requirements needed to be done to the motor prior to install? I have 91k on mine and it runs like it's new.
