that's definitely not a turbo, it's a supercharger

just look at the manifold and everything else... why would the turbo be mounted there anyways if it was...

LexAnt is right. Look at the device, it's belt-driven, it has to be a blower. Anyway, I don't imagine a guy that spells immediate "EMMIDIAT" would know a turbo from a hairdryer...

I'd like to know if that SC is available as a kit, maybe for the 2nd gen GS.

What are the added gains that these kits produce at the wheels?

Here is a website with a centrifugal supercharger. Our IS300 on our team has a sponsorship with these guys... they claim that it will get him 350 to the wheels with the intercooler, headers, and lightened pulley.

I had a friend with an IS300 who got the first TBKO Supercharger kit (the send-out kit). It was a pretty nice improvement. He didn't do any other modifications (stock exchaust and compression) and his results were as follows:

Supercharger: 270 hp / 250 trq
Stock: 183 hp / 194 trq

I was wondering my self if that kit would fit 98+ SC300.
