There's several good kits out there but with all the work involved, you looking at spending 10-15k roughly.

- turbo kit
- E-manage
- Gauges + wiring
- intercooler + piping
- internals
- transmission upgrades
- brake upgrade
- suspension
- labor (if you can't do the work yourself)
- etc

There's a lot of stuff that goes into boosted an IS. Depending on how much power you want, then there's the GTE short block upgrade or even a full GTE swap (hell of a lot more money).

Not trying to burst your bubble, but a lot of ppl new to boost don't realize how much boosting a car cost.
