I think for low boost the root style supercharger is the best. Andy and Peter would have a great project to fine tune it to about 6-8 psi.

For higher boost (12-20 psi with built motor), i would recommend ATI Procharger P1SC. This supercharger has its own oil system. No need to drill the oil pan. Its very reliable.

For all out power, it would be a single turbo.

It looks as if SRT might have a supercharger for our car... but it isn't very clear.

Area51 is suppose to be realeasing something but no one has heard anything about it and RMM I believe has a SC kit for GS which might work with 1UZ-FE. I am no expert on this subject but you could probably find someone in town with a little bit of knowledge to supercharge your car with a little bit of money.

That link to SRT is so old. I don't even think they make that supercharger for the GS400 anymore.

My SC was supposed to be sent there on two occasions. Both times I it fell through. They finally wanted to make things right but then I bought an SC300 to turbo.

Should be getting my car in from Japan in 6 weeks.

Step 1: motec
Step 2: fuel system
Step 3: manifolds and piping
Step 4: probably a T72

Probably take me most of the year, but I'll get there in the end.
