GT Supercharger

The twin turbo they are working on is an engineering excersise to see what's possible. A S/C is not off the table either, but they are not really putting it out there right now because they don't want to piss off anyone if they decide not to produce one or either. The OP must have found out about it through a friend. I think I'm going to see a friend at HKS soon and I'll look at the car if it's there, but I don't know what I'll be able to share.
