I am pretty sure that PHR only has one kit for right now and it is the kit that is on my car. You may want to give PHR a call and I am sure they can help with any questions you have. 817-529-4800

....me too, i bought a new 2001 IS 300, drove it until 12,000 miles and traded for a new 2002, I debated getting the 5 speed, but didn't.....I know that PHR is workign on a 100 RWHP gain supercharger, but how would a stage 1 work on an auto......although I would probably never do this, since for $7,000 and could close on nice piece of rental property, I would still be curious how well and auto would do....

now if that super charger was in the $2000-$3000 range

Yup. As I understand, they are hoping to release it in the Spring of this year, but I am sure that is a tentative date.

We are currently working on a prototype turbo kit that will offer roughly 100-150 additional RWHP for use on the automatic version IS300. The stock auto does not hold up quite as well as the five speed version to 400 RWHP, but I do think we can get 300-350 RWHP somewhat reliably. Of course, we do offer an automatic transmission upgrade as well, but this is a bit of overkill for the guys wanting to add approxmiately 100 RWHP to an auto car. At the top of my list is the release of a turbo kit that is able to be shipped and installed anywhere, while keeping the car reliable. Still working on that one. Currently, we only have one version of our IS turbo kit, that is the version Marc has. Call this the Stage 2 if you will. The automatic version for 350 RWHP will most likely become the Stage 1. Also, looking at the supercharger route as well to add 100 RWHP. Should have something more to talk about shortly...
