Default Supra to have twin turbo v6

So now that this is confirmed, do you guys think we will get an opportunity to boost our cars without suffering from the unhackable ECU?

probably not with Toyota. Shops can't even hack into the weak elementary 2.0T engine found in the IS, GS and NX.

Yeah, got to agree here. If you want to a turbo you can tune you have to go bmw or Infiniti. Waiting to see what stillen and others are going to do with the 3.0tt v6 with 300hp. It's the same engine as the red Sport uses which pushes 400hp and seems to differ only in two ways. How many pounds of boost it's pushing, and an oil cooler.

Stillen dropped the project, they are not doing it any more because of all the CA emission stuff.

Hopefully someone else picks up the gauntlet.
