Oh, and if you can find one, and afford the £2k price tag, there's a purpose built supercharger kit for the 200. Bolt on job, piggyback ECU controller, originally made by the now defunct TTE department of Toyota, which adds about 50hp, taking it to circa 200bhp. Me personally, I'd like the extra oomph, but £2k for 50bhp isn't worth it, and I'm also not a fan of the supercharger noise. Much prefer a subtle little turbo whistle, myself.

It's worth noting, that other than turbo conversions, engine swaps or supercharging, the 1G-GFE in the XE10 IS is virtually untunable. It just doens't respond to it. You can't remap it, there's little to nothing in the way of performance parts, like cams, etc. Exhausts, filters and the like make little to no difference. It's just not worth doing anything to it, and if you want faster, then either buy the IS300, or spend large amounts on turboing or supercharging it. Either that, or rip the lump out and slot in another Toyota engine, such as the 1JZ-GTE (2.5, I6, twin turbo - later models were single turbo - with 280bhp standard), or go full on 2JZ turbo nutter bastard with it, using a F154 5sp manual box from a Supra. And we all know what the 2JZ is capable of - could be the ultimate sleeper
