Instead of spending the unreliable money on a supercharger why not get a IS-F? It sounds badass but I wouldn't do something that in depth to the 250 motor. O and that is what we call waxing look at the reflection....

This saving gas line is over played.... If an IS350 owner drives with the save money on gas like an IS250 they save about the same. Its not like the IS350 is a gas guzzler. What ur saving is was the 5grand you kept in your pocket when you decided that 102Hp wasn't too important to you. I get bad gas mileage in my IS250 AWD mainly because of the rims... They make me drive faster its a mind thing thou.

I would rather buy a IS350 and mod with the extra money i saved. the 0-60 for the price of the IS-F does not impress me, its close enough to the IS350 to consider saving money and just modding a IS350 to make it perform the same way.
