Anyhow, I assume with the purchase will come the new slightly larger turbos. Those should be a better fit for the IS350 and the more CFMs that we can flow with the 3.5L.
GL and create yourself a build thread with MANY pics along the way!

Awesome! FINALLY someone with a turbo IS350 that won't be afraid to post up the details of their project. There have been two I've came across that said they had a turbo IS350 and showed an I/C, but no money shots of the engine bay or the turbos.

please stop asking for me to give you a parts list of everything you'll need to purchase to build this. It took me a lot of time and money to piece this together to simply just give someone a parts list. I will be building another kit right after I get some more funds so stay tuned!
That's what the community is all about! You know how many PMs I get asking for supercharger parts list all the time? It gets old since I publicaly shared the info numerous times but I still point people in the right direction.

IMO your build thread is a trial and tribulation thread with good bad and ugly that can stand to help a few folks. Embrace it

Hey guys... I've been lagging it a bit on the new turbo build. It's been a crazy couple weeks but I'm back from TX2K14 and although I've been having some health issues, I'm determined to build another setup within the next couple weeks. Still debating if I should tackle a front mounted turbo setup or to pull the trigger on another rear mounted twin turbo. I have a few things up my sleeve for a possible tuning solution. If this tuner comes through and can successfully tune my setup... This may be a big game changer in the forced induction IS community. Not holding my breath on it though

Digressing even further with opinions; a 300-400whp is quite a fun daily driver. Combined with the creature comforts and new technology (vdim, steering, direct inj) I think these cars are very pleasing to rip around town in. A s/c or turbo setup on low boost is safe, practical and powerful and actually pretty simple to implement on the 2g IS as we've proved for years now.
OP: I would love to see 2 turbos where the stock cats once were on the headers! I think it's a best of both worlds approach to bridge the gap between a rear mounted setup and an engine bay setup.
