I wouldn't think it's too much. From the pictures I've seen, the intake manifold on the 2UZ looks exactly the same as the 3UZ. Also, IIRC that one GS you posted on the exhaust thread had a 2UZ manifold on a 1UZ... it seems like a lot of parts on the 3 engines are interchangeable with not too much extra work involved...

The guy installing my headers asked me last night whether anyone has installed the TRD supercharger. He said it looks like it would bolt right up. Some of the truck guys are getting power out of them, why not us? I assume they are overdriving them with a smaller pulley. My buddy has a Tundra with the blower but it is a 5.7L. The thing is insane for a truck.

Also, If you can get an extra 45 Hp, remember it has a parasitic draw on the car. The pulley will take some low-end off your car and put back power progressively from mid-to-high Rpm.. with that little power you're not going to notice much power increase on the low end, (it won't better your acceleration that much to 60mph, where the super charger is strong is while rolling and at hwy speeds.. (I've had many Superchargers from my days of owning Camaros and Corvettes) If you're going to do a S/C add atleast 100HP.
Anways, Good luck to anyone that want to go that route.. Just speaking from experience.
