For fitment, rapid prototyping rocks. With 3D models, fitment is less of an issue than it used to be.

This appears to be in the setup stages for field logging, so you'll need the structure and temperature capabilities. My guess is a small batch was sand cast to see whether the runner length and size needs to be changed. Then you'll see the "fully dressed" version.

I generally like the design, with double-pulley + idler. The ratio looks comfortable, and lubrication is self-contained.

Scion rep I spoke to a month ago said that the plan was to release a supercharger atleast for a limited time, but that it was too far out to even think about a time table. I'll check back in with him when I pick up my FR-S (eventually).
