Seen it but don't really believe it and even if it is true. HKS will not release it for sell, I remember seeing the HKS supercharger article somewhere on the forum.

Watch his boost gauge during the video. His "twin turbo" system appears to run the same boost the TOMs supercharger kit does- 5.8 lbs (and I would imagine that like the TOMs kit he's running 100 octane fuel to manage even that).

Sure enough, here's another vid of his, where the title confirms it, 0.4 bar boost.

Do whatever you want to the ECU, it still won't get you around the 12:1 compression problem.
