Default Supercharger for 96' ES300?

Hi,
Is there a supercharger for the 96' ES300? I'd like to install one for my 96' ES300. Do you know where I can find it?
Thanks,
Khang

You should search the archives...there are a bunch of threads about superchargers...TRD (http://www.trdusa.com) makes one for a Camry, but there is a lot of debate on whether or not it could be used in the same year ES 300. I think the last I heard the only thing keeping it from working in our cars is that the ECU would have to be re-programmed or modified somehow...don't know if anyone has made any new developments, but I think we would have heard about it if they did!

Later,

there has been so much talk about supercharging the ES but I have yet to have seen one.
Its about time for someone to do it cuz that would be dope.
I would do it, but I would probably buy a different car instead of trying to make the ES fast.

yea, I think it's bout time someone goes ahead and does it! The guys at Rod Millen said it'd bolt on just fine to the ES, it's just a matter of whether the air/fuel maps and stuff could work out. But maybe there's a shop out there who'll make it work.

Has anyone seen a programmable ECU for our cars? THe only ECU upgrade I've seen is the Weapon-R one, and its not programmable.
