Buy another ECU with the same part number. Have it VIN matched then program your keys so it starts and runs. You can DIY with Techstream and a generic OBD2 cable. Remove the supercharger but leave the intercooler. Install the stock intake and drive your car until the people you paid and depend on to tune your computer get it right.
Now you can drive your car while waiting. You can test the ECU without the SC until it runs then reinstall the SC.

If you have a scanner and the ECU you sent out has communication now, maybe you'll just need to program your keys to get it to start. Is the Immobilizer key on or flashing when trying to start your car?

This isn't all the context. We sent him out a tuning device with the SC kit. There is a simple and standard procedure to read the ECU file. It's the same way we send it to hundreds of customers. Somehow, he bricked the ECU instead (we don't even know how he managed that) and sent it to us to salvage on the bench. Rafi spent time with it and thought he was able to repair it for him. However, when he got it back it was not working in the car. He may have sent it back a second time but we are unable to salvage it. I think we already told him he needs a new ECU.

Understand, but please note RR Racing nor any other Tune Company was mentioned in my post. Its my thought that when someone puts on a tune, it should tune, no matter the source of it. I think you should address the poster directly that has been in communications with you. I have said before that I respect and admire the things you have done for Lexus's. Lets just leave it there. -"A Tune should Tune".

Hey how much is it to super charge a 2008 lexus is250? Like at this very moment, factoring in the biden inflation?

What’s the 0-60 and 0-100 and 1/4 times with the latest and greatest kit you guys offer for it that doesn’t require anything else special besides 91 octane gasoline fuel bought at Costco gas stations?

Also, what’s the turn around time and are you guys located in Southern California?


i have every single figs engineering IS suspension part they offer and someday will be either wanting to supercharge or engine swap… thank you for your time in replying to my random set of questions.

Hi, JJ. Please feel free to shoot me a PM any time. I can answer questions, give you pricing, but more importantly clear up what's needed to run the SC. Whenever you're ready just send me a message.

the sc is sooooo worth it, and hella fun. I highly recommend it. The kit is fairly simple to install and there are somethings to watch out for as well if you are going to do this. gap your rings on your pistons, buy the spark plugs from R&R, take the butterflies out of the lower plennum, learn how to tune fuel for the ms injector.

update please. Any issues? Do you still use the stock air intake tube and box configuration? How’s your gas mileage?
