I am looking at the Magnuson supercharger (same one they put on the factory LX's a while back)... treperformance.com has them, or you can go straight to the Magnuson site. About $6700 for the kit... if you are a gearhead you can do it yourself (I used to do 6-71's on big block Chevys), but I would imagine a good shop would do it for about $3K.
Please let us know how your reliability and any issues you encountered... Of course the factory warranty is void.
Just looked at the harrop... that looks like a good choice.

If you are asking me - I started this post - Ive been running this Supercharger on my 2019 LX for over 35,000 miles and have had ZERO issues. I absolutely love this LX, and it required no special turning. Within a day or two, it was quiet & smooth, effortless torque and has been that way since day one. I had no idea how I am ever going to be able to part with this LX, and go to a new LX V6.

Im contacting Harrop this week to get more information but after reading over their Tech Flyer and install kit last night, it looks like the factory ECU tuning is more than "safe" with the included fuel regulator and fuel pump, etc.
For what its worth, my wife and I had always planned to enjoy our 2017 LX570 for a while then ultimately upgrade to the new LX600. Last year we drove one, ready to take the next step, but were ultimately disappointed. The cabin isnt as roomy, the trunk seemed smaller and while the performance was obviously better, we had our doubts on the longevity of a twin turbo small displacement motor moving such a heavy vehicle.
The end result, we decided to buy a truck that we knew we'd likely only keep for 4-6 years and ended up with a new GLS580. The twin turbo V8 won us over and I got to keep the LX. Now looking to make it more fun
