Turbo tuning options? Photo of Tom's 2GR charger
Am I crazy or am I the only one interested in tuning my 2008 IS350? I want more HP and better handling. I can't find any information on this. Any recommendations on where to go? Anyone else out there want the same thing?

I'd suggest you start reading the thread right under this one. And then the one after that (and so on, and so on)
For better handling, move to the suspension forum. Rinse, repeat.
If you have something specific you are interested in (intake, sways, coilovers) I suggest the forum search feature to help hone in on those topics.

Thanks Dave. FYI for others interested, so far I've found a finished product from Tom's in Japan but available in the US through L-Tuned Parts but it only gives +40 HP and costs $15K just for parts!! From another thread, Elite is working on a turbo charger aiming for $8K total cost. Both are piggybacks. No one seems to have broken the ECU yet.

Dude really? Your topic is right under this one... Stop posting threads...alot of us already now about this. IF your do an advance Search on the 2is section youll find exhaust suspensions super charger, turbo, headers.... Search is key really. Not hating or anything..but this is kinda like spam

^^ I wasnt trying to be mean about it. I was browsing the forum and was like wtf, theres a thread linking a picture to another thread thats below it to and older thread were this was discussed a week ago or so. And GPHLexus, to be honest if you bought the 2IS for it to be a tuner, i think you bought the wrong car. We are very limited when it comes to performance upgrades and gains...

The ECU has little to do with why you can't run much boost though... the ~12:1 compression ratio is a much bigger problem there.
