Default TRD Supercharger?

Any chance of TRD supercharger for F Sport?
I really enjoyed it on my Tundra CrewMax. The truck was weightless

lexus never had supercharger or anything like that for the gs350 since 2007. i guess chances are always there, but not sure if that's likely

Sequoia got Supercharger too.
I think F Sport makes way more sense than Sequoia.
Any chance they have it in Japan?

One of the rumors raised suggestions and ideas for using Eaton Twin Vortex Superchargers for the possible GS-F.

You can for example grab an *untouched* 2UR-GSE engine (i.e. produces 400 horses in the IS-F) and just slap on a pair TRD/Eaton Superchargers (for reference, one pair of these gives out 120 hp like in the Tundra/Sequoia).

More than 500 horses and more than 700 Newton Meters of torque. Hell yeah

I think they will come out with 1 its the exact engine from the is350 and there already lots of them so i pretty sure it will come cause i will defintly buy one to keep up with a 550 bmw or even on par with 1 that will be nice

Camry had SC at one point, so it should not be complicated.
It would be definitely fun to drive.
If TRD doesn't start it soon the can miss the boat.
The demand for GS is pretty high, so they will sell way more of those then for 96-02 Tacoma with 3.4l engine.
I like TRD better then others since it's Toyota for Toyota, warranty and such.
