I am sorry for not getting back you that was my fault. I have had almost 40 separate PM's from you guys about this turbo kit it must have gotten lost in my stack of replies. I will put a reply together today and get back to you! I am also in the middle of 4 huge projects at the shop so I have been very busy!

Just so you guys remember. We are here to fix what Turbocharger.com did to this community! If I can work it out with someone on the 250/350 kit as far as getting a car here, we WILL be making them and they will be the best quality possible!

Its all good.. I respect that you got a lot going on. I had just assumed that you pulled the older turbochargers.com shenanigan and at the sight of seeing someone ask about the details of the project just ignored it.

lexus was tinkering with this idea as well, especially for the IS250 since it lacks the power punch from the dealer that the 350 has, but lexus very rarely ever follow through with their plans.

I think most common (business) sense denotes that lexus would be very unlikely to release a turbo for the 2.5L. There are very few (if any?) options that cannot be had on the 2.5L vs the 3.5L, besides the engine. EG - people bought the 3.5 BECAUSE it was faster. If they undercut it with the 2.5L + turbo that would make no sense and only annoy IS350 buyers, I'd think?
