Is 250 Turbo

[MatadorIS250]

So I was recently speaking to a lexus rep and they were telling me that sometime this summer, maybe May or June, Lexus would be releasing a turbo upgrade for the IS250. Has anyone else heard anything about this? They said they price would be around $3,800.00 from the dealer. I dont know how much it would be to have it installed. thanks B)

This sounds almost as good as the TRD FI upgrade for the IS300 that never happened. Color me skeptical.

Was he carrying a shovel and kinda smell bad??

There is no way Lexus is going to offer a turbo kit for any of thier cars as a seperate accessory or add on!!! Especially a cast internal motor!! And even more so on a 12:1 compression ratio!! Just changing the head and pistons to lower the compression would be way more than $3,800.00!!!! No wasy, never happen, smack the guy for being stupid!
