Default Supercharger for the 3GR-FSE?

Toyota showed the Mark X Vertiga Super Charger Concept in the Tokyo Auto Salon show earlier this year. The supercharger for the 3GR-FSE is supposed to increase the output from 256ps to over 300ps. I wonder if that supercharger has made it into production, and if there are plans to supercharge the 2GR-FSE as well. Thoughts?

Not with CARB in the way....or better yet until Toyota figures out a way to make a S/C system reliable enough that you don't have to worry about fuel delivery or spending a couple more thousand to make the car run right. With Dual VVT-i, Direct Injection and an already high compression ratio, that combo doesn't sound too reliable or realistic with an S/C.
