Keep looking, there's plenty of stuff available... ECU reflash, all kinds of braces, and yes a supercharger

You just have to use some common sense (and a little imagination ). I was easily able to figure out everything they have on the Japanese side of the site using babelfish, despite the horrible translation. Just look for the key words, and don't try to read everything.

I got the jist of what the site said, but I was looking fo r a little cleaner translation of the ECU controller. From waht I can gather it removes the speed limiter, sharpens throttle response and remaps-fuel delivery.

The LSD is 1-way only. Maybe you can wait for 2-way.
