Yea but the Lexus IS-F is one hell of a sexy car, I wouldn't mind having one but not for $60,000 or however much they cost. Eric, treadstone is still doing deals on their stage 3 kit. Get it... worth every penny. But you already know that from the ride you took in my balt.

The dealer broke mine off. When I took my car to the dealer to be inspected, they came out and said "all 4 rotors need turned, you have a leak at the right rear brake caliper, your end links are loose, and you need a new air filter...will only cost $589" Needless to say, I took it somewhere else. I replaced the rotors with aftermarket drilled slotted, tightened the end caps myself, found there is NO leak in the rear. It took me a couple weeks to get to the airfilter. When I popped the hood, there was the hose sticking up straight in the air. I told the dealer but they of course denied it. So I super glued it on and am finally ordering my K&N Typhoon.
Will never go to that place again, which sucks because it is right next to where I work and real convenient.
On the plus side, I put in a K&N drop in for now, and I am surprised that it really seems a little punchier.

If you made it so it would fully blow off at less than 5psi the BOV won't stay closed at higher boost levels... At low boost it will always open a few times because the pressure isn't enough in the CPs to keep the BOV fully open during a low boost situation. I hope that makes sense.

They make the kit without the BOV also so you can keep your stock BPV... Which is a good route also, unless you want to turbo swap. Call up or email treadstone and discuss their options... I think they are ending the discounts on the 1st.
