Thank you for your kind words! There is the Chinese version called, Toyota Reiz, they are LHD and come with 3GRFSE 3.0L..
There are several major differences between the two, such as JDM 180kmh speedometer (limit speed) but a tuner here managed to remove this limiter, cloth seats instead of leather, one can opt out the audio package which means no head unit at all but the 6 basic speakers are there, heated seats are a non standard option, rear blind is optional, trunk pass through, one can actually select a set regular wiper blades instead of the aero wipers as found on the Lexus IS, seats memory is an option, motorized steering column is an option, even one can have the car without foglamps, without cruise control, without paddle shift (if wanted), and many more...

lol some the differences are: in the headers which interestingly they have similar layout with the PPE made headers, "performance" settings on the timing/vvtiL engagements, more aggressive transmission shift points..

In regards to your swap plan, If I remember correctly that, the 3GRFSE swap that you speak of will be a direct plug and play in replacing the stock motor (4GRFSE) or at least require a minimal modification simply because in partaking the swap it would retain the same transmission, differential, ECU, related mountings, same wiring, same pins, same connectors, from the 4GRFSE. I agree with your thought process, better off swapping to the 3GRFSE then add a supercharger kit.
As far as boost level, running on RON 98, the safest recommended And maximum boost is 0.5 bar or approx 7.25 psi give or take for all 2GRFSE, 3GRFSE and, 4GRFSE. I live in a tropical hot and humid weather all day everyday so personally I would dial down to 7 psi unless WMI is involved.

This is the first picture I have posted on here.
Here is my 06 250 currently.
Wanting to do more but I may be moving to Mass soon so trying to decide if the RWD will work up in the snow.
Let me know what you think.
