    Nothing available yet unless you can find a good shop to fabricate one for you. OV Tune is the best gain we have at this point.

    What is the OV tune? What hp mods can I do that won’t void the warranty until they come out with a supercharger?

    Put OV tune in the search engine here or on YouTube. It’s basically an ECU tune for different gas octane levels that is responsible for smoother acceleration, powerbands, and shifting if you have an auto or manual for that matter. There is tons of info out there. Fairly easy install and is updatable as versions are revamped and improved. A little pricey but many people enjoy the benefits.

    I wouldn't hold my breath on a supercharger. I don't think we'll ever see one for it. Turbo/pro charger kit's, maybe.

    The exception being if Toyota OEMs one eventually, and you buy parts and labor from them. Most warranties will cover the full solution.

    I think that would be in the $7500 range and no thanks.

    Good point on warranty worth considering for sure

    Is it up and running yet? If not still a maybe. There is a reason Lexus/Toyota didn't turbo the 3.5 and came out with a different engine for turbo models.

    There's always naysayers lol.

    I would hazard a guess that Mat knows more about it than you and I.

    Stay tuned :D

    BTW I remember when OVtune first came on here. There were people calling bullshit, that Toyota's ECMs couldn't be cracked. Well, here we are.
    Yes I know that's not the same thing as building a turbo kit for the 2GR-FKS.

    What SW are you flashing? Open source?

    Pretty sure most if not all ECMs can be flashed over these days.

    Maybe take a look at a Lotus Evora 400. It has a 3.5 L 2grfe v6. Supercharged and intercooler. Just a thought.
