Not yet, I haven't gotten everything installed. I picked up an extremely rare used RMM supercharger kit. The kit is currently at my local speed shop but they are backed up and haven't had time to book me in yet. As there is next to no documentation on the installation of the kit, it'll take the shop a while to figure things out and fabricate along the way. A few months ago, I had a lower mile 1UZ engine swapped into my car. My car has 250k miles on it and I swapped a 70k mile engine from a local wrecked low mile GS400. The RMM supercharger will do well with the low mile engine. It runs really well and pulls harder than my old engine.

I had a slight leak on the drive side airline due to me not using enough teflon tape on the threads but I fixed that and the entire system is air tight with no loss in PSI.

One thing I should have done was install height sensors. PSI in the bags don't always correlate to a certain ride height so I could be at 80 PSI per bag and really low or it could be a 2" fender gap and I never know until I get out and look. With height sensors, it doesn't care about PSI and just adjust pressure to to height. I'll be adding that feature later on this year.

I could see air suspension being a gigantic headache if it wasn't installed properly, chasing air leaks and electrical gremlins everywhere but if done right, it'll give you the best of both worlds (looks and performance)

damn this looks good!!
