We are located in Minnesota just north of Minneapolis. Again it all comes down to getting a car to use. If anyone is interested feel free to PM me! We are shooting for a retail price of $8,000. That will include a tuning solution as well. As I said before please PM me if you can spare your car for a few months.
Thanks,
Andy

Almost every IS member would be interested as long as it's a good price and worth every $ per hp

I think everyone is interested in a turbo kit - I know I am! There have been plenty of threads discussing the limits of forced induction for the IS350 on this forum, so at this point people are looking for price and reliability.

Flash Tunning? or Piggyback Ecu?

That would be my question. I have blown motors doing the piggyback crap.

I'm pretty sure everyone would welcome additional aftermarket mods for our 2IS's, especially F/I!
If the gains and hp to price ratio is right, then it'll be great!

Btw, it's nice seeing ya'll branching out to the ISX50s! I've read what ya'll have done to some of the IS-F's.

It is a piggyback, so far that is the only option. I would not put my name behind it if i was not confident.

good to know someone out there wants to step up to the plate, but i'd like to see the specs and stats on your $8k turbo kit.

don't mind the cynicism, but do understand that the 2is community has been disappointed more than once.

Its true, we have been disappointed many times. Some how turbo + 2is = fail. Why not make a supercharger, it would seem easier, cost less and give great gains? Fox marketing built one, said they were going to start selling them in January, but havent herd from then since. Its like there avoiding the question, just been wondering whats the definite answer....

i think it would be worth 8k if it could make our IS350's throw down 350-400 hp to the wheels

edit: and yea i'm with peter below, its out of my range too . oh well still excited to see the results of the R&D

I usually don't put a budget with car parts but 8k is out of my range
