Default Anyone know where I can buy the HKS GT Supercharger Kit from?

Long story short, I was planning to save all my money this year from my part-time job to buy a second car (07 BMW 335xi, 08 Audi S4, or 04 MB E55 AMG) before I start nursing school next year but then came to realize, I'll just wait the three-four years and get an even better car once I start working. So now I'm just going to modify my IS350 and have some money saved up for school then. I was looking at supercharger kits for the IS or even piecing together one for some while but now I'm serious about it since I might be getting a new short block and won't be getting another car. I came across the HKS GT kit from a site called RHDJAPAN. I've never heard of them nor do I know if the HKS kits are even still available now. Anyone heard of them or selling a kit?

Just get the lightly used TOM's kit on the F/S section you asked about. THAT kit right there is killer!

Not too interested in the Tom's kit anymore. For $5000 and only 358 HP at the crank? Not worth all that money for 50 HP. Isn't the HKS capable of more power since it has the tunes and higher boost? And I'm not interested in buying right away. It won't be until I research enough and save up cash. That won't be until winter break or spring break that I get the chance to install it. Can't have any down time since it's my only car and I already blew the engine once, not going to do that again lol.
