I waisted a lot of money and time while rubbing rabbits feet when I was in my early 20's too. The thing is that this isn't about "IFs and BUTS". It's about "Did and will continue to do". Kenny has made you his *****. He wouldn't be where he is today without young people with more money than sense that cling to hope that history won't repeat itself.
How does that saying go ... Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on ...
How many times is Kenny going to fool you?

(jk) maybe i do have to much money for my own good. Maybe i have too much hope or put to much faith in him. It is what it is I guess

Went around Kenny and talked to sean over at turbochargers.com. Heres the email that i got.
"They are about 75% done with the kit. The underside of the car is done, and they are finishing the intercooler side and throttle body piping.
It's on the ground right now, but they should have it up in the air early next week, and I can send you some pics."

Good Luck to the original poster. Hopefully you get your car back sooner than later.
Ive done lots of research on Kenny Strickler. Hes the guy who clams to be able to tune and make a 800whp Isf. The main reason i haven't blown my money with his company is that i have never seen PROOF that anything ground breaking has been done. His clam of being able to tune the Lexus ecm is BS...
Im sure your going to like the kit but ide say 60whp max is what your going to get out of an is350 on 5-6psi.
Looking forward to the update...
This Link Might give you the idea of the type of issues that you might have to deal with.

Enough about Kenny, he was discussed a few pages ago.
Most important thing is that he promised to finish the car, and if he ever wants to slap another one of his turbo kits onto an IS, especially for a CL member, he will need to do a great job.

i took this from houston-imports.com on the turbochargers.com section FYI
**Under New Management**
Some of you may be aware and some may not. Kenny Strickler (Turbochargers) and Sean Newton (Nester) are no longer employed by Turbochargers.com. Turbochargers.com is now managed by a team effort between myself, Jack Markgraf and "JonGu", John Nguyen.
We realize that the local and national reputation of this company has been severely tarnished by poor business practices and horrible customer service for the past several years and we are determined to change that and earn back and repair the trust that has been broken. We will offer up front and honest professional service to all customers in addition to competitive pricing on all of the highly desired brands and manufacturers. I will not get into details or e-bashing; just know that Turbochargers.com has turned over a new leaf effective immediately. We are here to serve our customers with the utmost respect and the highest service possible. Whether it be a $2 gasket or a $7k+ turbo setup, you will feel appreciated as our customer. I have been on the consumer side of the industry and I know what it feels like to be treated badly and that will not happen in this company any longer.
