You still might want to consider the SRT Stage 1 or 2 kit. I'm currently installing them here in Los Angeles. This year I will be helping Mo get his super charger certified through the California Air Resource Board (CARB). If an aftermarket device is CARB certified then lexus cannot void your warranty. This is exactly what TRD does with all of their superchargers. None of the other IS300 kits, sc or turbo, are CARB certified. If your car needs a smog check and your kit is not CARB certified, you automatically fail. Think about the long term.
Good Luck!

I was refering to the automatic issue but then I found out his car is not auto...
but there will be still some timing issues that might need to be addressed...

Their website (Toyomoto) is quite possibly the worst I have ever seen. A little marketing could go a long way!! If I were going to take the time to explore what they can do for me, I would at least expect dyno's, stats, options, stages...something!!!!! holy poop!
Where is this 600hp IS, or even the 450hp???? Give it up!
