You beat me too it, and everything I've read says it will never exist.
Thanks for the kind words.
And Chris...keep turning down that FLCEG dial, becuase no one will step up to host. The S4 was just too expensive, basicaly I was looking at a used s4 for more than the IS300.

I got an e-mail response back from TRD around July or August of this year on their testing and development of a SC for the IS300 which was slated for release mid/late '03...
...then again, I haven't touched the subject since, so things may have changed. Turbo, no, SC, yes. Any forced induction that's factory warrantied is better than none!
If anyone has the skinny on this, I'm all ears.

Basically, this is the same answer they've been giving since the IS first came out. Some TRD guy on IS300.net basically said that such a kit isn't even in development right now, so I wouldn't get my hopes up.
Some of the aftermarket TURBOS available for the car make some retarded power though, if you're willing to give up your warranty real quick. I nearly went with an L-Tuned Stage 2 and a TYBO turbo, but realized that I was coming up close on M3 territory from a dollar perspective, with no chance of recouping my costs down the road.
Fun cars, nonetheless. Good luck with it!

Dude, you have been on here 2 months and you think you are a big dog? I have been on here for YEARS, not MONTHS. What have you done to make you a BIG DOG? Just because I don't post 20 messages a day like you (read: too much free time), it doesn't mean that I can't call someone out. Keep posting, we know how important that post count is to you. And by the way, I think the "Should have gotten" comments are derogatory and critical.
