We'll see if Toyota can make anything of it.

I just checked Honeywell's site again for anything and they've dropped all reference to their electrically assisted turbos for small and medium duty diesels. I seriously doubt Toyota will have any more luck than Honeywell/Garrett. Garrett has a whole lot of patented technology in turbocharging, and they've got some of the world's best and brightest. It will be interesting to see if Toyota actually does something that works. I have my doubts.

I'm kinda sick of waiting for the other videos to show up now. A week after everyone else and you lose the buzz regardless of how good they are...

Have no fear. I will be posting up Taste of Lexus Evening Edition dates for 3 other markets. That will include Miami area, Chicago area and Northeastern region. The IS-F will be there on the dyno as it was at our event this past Saturday.
