You would still need a piggy back or standalone computer for the fuel trims.

lol no, not anywhere close to "plug and play" or "bolt-on"

even the bullet kits require a fair bit of hand-fitting.

No, not quite. The closest thing to "plug and play" is the kit from Bullet Cars, but even that needs a little fab work, not to mention relatively deep pockets for shipping and handling from Australia and after that, you'd still need to source a supercharger. I think it would be more economical to source a JZ motor out of an Aristo, swap it in and go to town with mods.

Oh... derp. I was looking at their "Basic" kits. The "Universal Supercharger System" completely slipped my mind. One user on here, going by the name of JamesN, has that kit installed on his LS.
