I believe it's LMS, but it's still a prototype, not sold to public yet.

Nothing out yet officially.

There has been word of prototypes around, but nothing public. There have been a couple of stories with engines blowing up...

Just don't buy a LMS one, they've had a lot of problems in the past.

Untrue had the kit on for some time now and it fun to play with. The kit your refering to is for the is300 and they switch blower. If LMS having some much problems with the kit why does K&N and Fujita have it on their SEMA car... Also the supercharger LMS using is a ATI C2 procharger..

I've also been rolling with an LMS kit for about 6 months now. I did experience problems where the car wasn't making boost. It was slowly fixed after I sent the supercharger back to Procharger. I've got it back and I went from a 250 down to a 225 supercharger pulley. Now, i'm having the damndest of times trying to get (a) a belt that fits properly, and (b) a belt that won't break.

I've been geting PM's on an SC kit from Tom's Racing Japan.since were the distributer here in the US for them

The main issue we are having is the ECU, it's spec'd for the Japan model and they still are trying to figure out if it might work with the US model.

I know they use higher octane gas for one and have been going back and forth with them on trying to get it released here also with a warranty.For them to reprogram the ECU for our model they would expect some sales because of the R&D involved

They would need to get the kit CARB approved for sales in California. That adds a LOT to the cost, and takes a ridiculous amount of time. It's also difficult to justify with the IS-F so close to release.
