I have had my is200 for the last year or so and supercharged it 9 months ago.
I'm looking to pass the supercharger kit onto another is200 owner to fund other projects. I plan on keeping the is200 as a daily as its still a great car.
As most know the is200 is underpowered, however the supercharger takes it to where Lexus should have had it when it was sold.

I had the same problem with oil in sparkplug tubes and found my rocker cover gaskets were the same bakelite condition. Replaced them, however I still get a bit of blue smoke on start up. Still think valve stem seals are the cause - its a 20 year old car at this point - one of those jobs which I think is not critical, just need to be mindful of the issue.
