Dennis - I just spoke with the TOM'S guy in the USA and they said there was nothing....hehehe...as soon as he knew it was me, he just started blurting out "There's nothing new on the SuperCharger..."

My homie over at APEX has been telling about the PowerFC system them have...damn tempting to try a hybrid piggyback ECU thingy...Blitz also has similiar unit with more resolution but I don't know if the extra resolution will help...the APEX unit has a cool optional handheld adjustment unit (kinda like the Lexus C-BEST system)...have a setting for street, another for pure speed, another for fuel economy, another for....
DAMN IT! Why couldn't Lexus just seperate the engine management portion of the ECU from the other junk! And publicly post a full schematic of the ECUs and how to tap into them! HUH? HUH?!
What sucks about the developments in Japan with TOM'S and Blitz is that there is no guarantee that it'll work with our US cars...

And Toyota ECUs are a b*tch to hack. Not to mention throwing VVT-i in there. ECU cracker's nightmare (and the nightmare isn't over yet.)
What's with OBDii, O2 censors, etc.etc. Can't we just have a full mechanical car?

I talked to Area 51 about 3 months ago and they do have a Turbo for about $7000. I'll call and find out about a supercharger tomorrow and I will post what I find out.
By the way, I talked with Toysport and a V300 engine swap will run about $7000 for it just to be stock, BUT you will have 320 at the rear tires. After that the sky is the limit.
Until I have a spare $7000 and can go without my car for a month or two, I'll be saving my $$$.
By the way Area 51 is in Orange County in Califorina and Toysport is about 20 minutes away from LAX in California also.
Take care
