In the lastest issue of Car & Driver, TRD (Toyota Racing development) has a kit that supercharges the 1.8 VVT engine, it is the lower compression version (10 to 1), hopefully Lotus is looking into it ?
With kit the engine is still not a powerfully as the
normaly aspired Lotus unit, but Lotus could work
the their magic on it.
