there are no "kits" available yet... only IN-house installs. The kits will come shortly I'm sure, but there's more to just bolting on a turbo and goin, you'll need electrical mods and probably some tranny mods to support the loads. (depending on if you're running an auto or manual)

I know it's more to just bolting on a turbo kit, I understand that a clutch, diff. and fuel managment will need to be installed.
I have many years of turbo's on Hondas, acuras, supras and 300z's plus more. I am a tech and have a great knowladge of electrical and mechanial towards import cars. I was just looking for someone that maybe had a kit to save me time, or someone that would sell a headgasket, turbo manifold.
The shop i work at we already make charge pipes, have the turbos,wastegates,bov,fuel controllers,injectors etc.
but I was looking for someone out there that might have more info than in house only. Who makes the turbo manifold, headgasket, etc...????
Thanks a bunch

if you planned on doing it yourself, you can get all the parts off the shelf I'm sure... the only real issue is your fuel/electronics management... which isn't easy to do. You'd have to ditch the stock ECU as tuners are having issues w/ the ODBII.

Thanks for the info, Iam planning on doing it myself along with another tech I work with that has been a lexus tech for sometime now.
The main concern is where to get a head gasket and turbo manifold from off the shelf??

fuel managment , I might try the same as what we do with the hondas but If that doesn't work out always can go Haltech or something like that.
i have worked with the haltech before and i like it , I use it on my honda.

also what size injector you think I should use? want to run around 10lbs pump gas and race gas maybe 18-20

I'm not techinically inclined enough to tell you what size injectors to use, but I know you can probably get the head gasket from HKS (the IS uses the 2jzgt block found on the supra n/a, the gs300) and I'm not sure about the tubo manifold.

I think SRT is switching to a haltec for their supercharger...
