Welcome to the club.

For the IS200 you can get the TTE supercharger.
www.tte.de has some more info on it.

Are you sure you want to upgrade the power? Yes, you can get some TTE and TRD parts but it will impact your gas mileage...and isn't gas pretty expensive up there in Iceland? It's $4-6 a gallon (sometimes even more) throughout Europe.

Real hardcore car guys don't care about gas prices, LOL.
I only pay $1.20 for a liter of gas.

You and I are both hardcore car guys (trust me). Hardcore CAR guys are not necessarily hardcore POWER guys. I like a little power myself....but I'm not a speed freak.

We just have different opinions over gas prices. Many of us here in the U.S., rightly or wrongly, believe that Europeans and Japanese get ripped off with gas prices....mostly taxes. That's one reason why so many cars there have little 1-liter engines, and why small diesels are so popular..

This is 100% true.
I think the price is like 80% tax.
