Default Turbo's / SuperChargers for late Model Lexus

OK i started this thread to gather info on super charging options for Late Model Lexus. As so far my search on the internet has proven fruitless. Living in Australia doesnt seem to help much either.
I want to super charge my 2011 LS 600 HL.
-----------------------------------------------------------

Its a bit ordinary when you lift the bonnet, seeing a blower in there will surprize a few, it would me.



This Car is no slouch, modified exhaust, 22's, lowering module, sets it off, and it has upset a few local rev heads when its tailed them or gone past them . Lol



All info appreciated

Nice 600 looks sleek. I wish I had some info for you, but Im clueless. Interested in more power as well though, the only V12's our 600's compare with are early-mid 2000 760's and S600's....

Unfortunately, HKS parts are now going to be that much harder to obtain now that HKS is no longer here in the US.

As in the Lights, badges, etc.

I say screw supercharging, turbocharging is the way to go!!! LOL

It would be nice for a mild turbo kit like they have for the IS-F's, but then again I don't think the ecu can be cracked on our cars for tuning and such... would be sick though...but still think we are crazy for even discussing Forced Induction on our old geezer mobiles LMAO

I think just wheels/drop/lip/600 headlights puts the LS very far from old geezer mobile

For the 20K (plus install) I would trade in the LS and get an AMG S63. I love your car the way it is. Its great. Enjoy it

It's all gotta be custom unless someone comes out with a kit for our cars, which is very unlikely BTW. Honestly, if you have the cash, patience, and knowledge to make something like this happen I wouldn't hesitate, but for someone like me that doesn't have all of that, it's not worth it at all...
