Default lx 470 (TRD SUPERCHARGED)

hey every one..

well got this done and few months back..

i bought a new trd supercharger from ebay. very hard to find.

so i have a 99 lx470. and the kit was for a 03+
i called every where and they all said that is could not be done..
trd, lexus , toyota ... all said it would not fit.. because of the 10TH injector..
and the ecu plus were diff.

but i got lucky call unichip.. that guy was the only one know knew what he was talking about...

any ways got everything to work.. so here are the pics.

the ecu is not the same for the 99-02 vs 03- 07.

the 99+ trd kit only has the 9th injector.. i was just going to took it up the 9 and 10 together, untill i call unichip.

it was 600$ but it was all plug and play.. and comes with 2 settings.

i still have the trd piggy back ecu if any one needs it..

Looks killer! Now just need to convince the wife. It is her truck now after all.

What was the final cost to do all this? Just curious if you don't mind. Would like to see some dyno and videos.

Great clean job as well.

dj sohbash, can you just clarify what had to be done differently? So you bought '03+ kit and didn't use the piggyback ECU it came with. You used a piggyback ECU from Unichip that did or did not require the extra injector(s)?

So, will a TRD SC kit for the Tundra work the same? Or are there other differences?
