Well, if an SS header fits both the GS400 and GS430, it would be safe to assume that it should work. I called up Greddy and they said that it would have clearance issue... I don't believe it (GS430 3rd gen supercharger on 2nd gen GS).
I can tell you I have installed the SRT and a few other parts for the 2gen and they work. I actually have less clearance due to my hood so I dont see how you wouldnt be able to fit it. My hood, 3gen, slopes down more.

^ Nice! I am interested myself.
here is a pic of the 2gen with the same SRT as mine. There looks to be a good 4" from the hood to the pipe where I had minimal clearance.

I got quite a few PM on the supercharger for the GS430.. Well, it looks like it's discontinued and I have the last one. I'll post pic as soon as it arrives. I'm not sure if they still sell the blitz one in Japan but I searched for it and came up with a site selling it close to $10k or more as far as I can recall. They may still be taking orders.
Otherwise, you would have to go to a tuner shop and get a custom turbo or supercharger...
I think SRT sells superchargers also as per member information provided to me.
I will try to find the link and post it here.

I was very seriously considering the local kit that passnu was referring to. I ended up calling Mo from SRT to check if the kit would work between the 1uz and 3uz. Well its not compatible.
Anyway he quoted me 5-7K for my 430.
But yea the TT kit is a complete engine and tranny build for 25K!
Sam any updates.. are you going to be the mad scientist and get it to work!!?

We will see
I hope it can be done. I'm still flip flopping on which car to pruchase. I may end up selling the supercharger if I go with the 4.7 tundra engine instead.
