Default Bolt on super charger or turbo kits for is250?

I'd really like some info on a charger bolt on kit but if none available wouldn't mind a turbo kit.... I've already seen the arma speed and I'm not willing to pay 10k for a kit haha... Any help guys?

I love the responses. TO be honest if you wanna spend AT LEAST 5K for one then you can find one. If you want 100HP instantly, trade it in for a 350. That's the whole thing in a nut shell. It takes A LOT of custom work and playing around with things to make it gain about 50HP. Guys have done it.

these repsonses are priceless lmao

but no man, nobody has a bolt on kit yet at least. but the for money youll still be slower than a is350 so you would be better off just swapping out if more power is what you are after

Well there's a boosted one around my house and I know the guy who built the kit for him and he did it realitively inexpensive small turbo and a clean setup but no one around here to really tune it.... And I have searched came up with the arma speed and I've even been in contact with them through email about some kits... Not really tryin to build a race car because honestly next year when the car is payed off I was considering trading it in on a 350.... But since I already have a 11' fj cruiser I'm seriously considering doing and Ls swap... Which I know is gonna burn some of you Lexus guys *** but thanks for the info fellas

Yeah you can do a turbo kit all custom for relatively cheaper compared to supercharger kits but still for the amount of power it's almost a waste. Unless it's just for a "just to do it" type project. Not to mention no way to tune it so it will never see peak of what it can do.

But I don't think an LS swap will burn anyone, there is already a LS1 swap IS250 in progress right now in the performance section. Really long but sick build
