In your Opinion overall what is better? Not just IS-F sake but in general that is?
Don't quote me on this b/c I'm not a super expert but I heard that SC is not reliable over Turbo charging? True or False? Or Pending..:confused:

honestly i believe the turbo is a lot nicer isn't it a lot cleaner as well, the supercharger are more for like certain cars, but i don't think it would go with an isf i believe , i think because my cousins has a supercharger in his hummer and its loudddd!!
Why? Especially in a Hummer..H2 and H3 or SUVs in general are not sport cars..
Maybe Exception of Cayenne Turbo and Turbo S and Range Rover Sport SC..

I think Supercharger would be quite nice on a IS-F although it remains to be seen whether on which 1 of 2 would be better..

I can't wait..It's killing me..It feels like I'm a little kid waiting on a video game to come out..

I'm the same way! I would like to see if one or both are going to come out for the F :) I honestly wouldn't mind either. If the supercharger is done to go with the F's luxury, I would hop on it right away. If there was a twin turbo set as well, I'm going to have to consider both very seriously :) I'm ready for SEMA and the aftermarket to load up on parts for the F :cool:
Be patient, my friend..It's like Day and Night..It'll happen at least hopefully..Just be ready to open your wallet b/c it's gonna lose some weight..:D

I think it also comes down to fitment and location issues. Looking at the Yamaha 2UR-GSE engine, I don't see much room for a turbo or supercharger and I think adjusting the engine management and changing the electric motor-controlled intake and hydraulically adjusted exhaust valve timing seems a tall order for tuners:confused:
What?:( I hope not..Awgh! TRD PLEASE DO SOMETHING! ANYTHING!

And even though the 335 has small turbos, there is absolutely no room to add a larger trim turbocharger. That is why you don't see any turbo upgrades to that vehicle, only tuning!

I've said it before, the R&D upside is not enough for companies to build a supercharger or turbo for the IS-F because of its limited production and even smaller demand for owners who actually want to void their warranty (TRD exception) and make prodigious amounts of horsepower!

Intake/exhaust is all you will see down the road...and you can forget about tuning because from what I have researched, Toyota keeps their ecu's on lockdown; And I doubt yamaha/skunk built this car to be modified.
Good Point! Very accurate..I guess Swift racing technology is out..Due to voiding warranty..FU**:mad: :mad: This is one draw back on limited production cars..Oh well! I guess one can hope TRD does something, if not I'll deal with it..No Biggie!
