West Coast = XS-Engineering - They will make you a Turbo Kit to meet any HP needs depending on how much you want to spend

MidWest = Powerhouse Racing - Supra Motor Conv.(now thats sick!!!! )and Turbo kits in different stages, for more info visit http:www.powerhouseracing.com

EastCoast = Toyomoto - home of the 600Hp IS3 , and many other sick toyotas and lexus - they offer all types of kits depending on budget and HP needs.

Peace

WestCoast Alternate:
You still might want to consider the SRT Stage 1 or 2 kit. I'm currently installing them here in Los Angeles. This year I will be helping Mo get his super charger certified through the California Air Resource Board (CARB). If an aftermarket device is CARB certified then lexus cannot void your warranty. This is exactly what TRD does with all of their superchargers. None of the other IS300 kits, sc or turbo, are CARB certified. If your car needs a smog check and your kit is not CARB certified, you automatically fail. Think about the long term.

Good Luck!

I look at the site almost daily, I just haven't been posting that much. I installed the SRT SC Stage 2 for "OCIS". Sofar, he seems to be a satisfied customer. I should be doing his Stage 3 upgrade soon. If anyone in the socal area buys an SRT Super Charger, Mo recommends them to me. I hope to be doing many of them.

That's easy, he'll just have to push the clutch pedal in a little harder!

Thumbs down

Their website (Toyomoto) is quite possibly the worst I have ever seen. A little marketing could go a long way!! If I were going to take the time to explore what they can do for me, I would at least expect dyno's, stats, options, stages...something!!!!! holy poop!

Where is this 600hp IS, or even the 450hp???? Give it up!
