It's a private label brand, but it's pretty cool... Here's some specs...

Procharger C-2 (takes 2 weeks for them to make)
HP 306 -> 386
TQ 277 -> 377
5 lbs boost.

The car still runs at stock ratings if anything in the belt snaps or S/C doesn't function
All piping is jet hot treated, made from 6061 T6 polished out
All couplers, o rings, intercooler, etc…included.

THIS IS A TUNER KIT….meaning…we set everything up at 5 lbs to run 80hp to the crank. What you choose to do after that is up to you. From what our engineer tells us, the car can run more boost. We set it at 5lbs to give it a nice plug and play feel. 8 hours labor for installation time. Blower sits at the bottom left side of the block so it’s closer to the ground…not very audible, which is a good thing.

The same kit is being developed for the IS250 and GS300.

Any questions, let me know!

Carson Toyota (one of our forum sponsors) carries LMS products and does group buys on them from time to time (Eternity is not a forum sponsor and him PMing you to sell this will get him banned from the forum, so he doesn't want to do that ).

You might want to check with Carson (PM SupraTRD or Carson-Lex) once this comes out. The first prototype IS350 with the blower I've seen was just posted by a member of ours (ro ro)
