I heard they still weren't shipping kits. Is that true or are they now available for immediate delivery?

Any idea what the holdup is?

It looks like 2 fast 4u has a wish list, not a mod list. I don't even see the billet grille in the picture.

I don't doubt the engine's ability to handle that much boost for a short time, and with the proper safeguards, it could do it for awhile. The 2JZ was well known for producing almost 3 x stock output on OEM internals and ridiculous boost. The real problem for the 2AZ at that kind of power is service life. It will wear very rapidly as would any small engine producing that kind of power.

Not only that, but did you notice how it builds boost? Very suddenly? I bet it picks up about 200 hp over 600 rpm when the boost hits. The graph sure looked like it. Big numbers look good in magazines. They aren't necessarily fun to drive.

Not impossible, just not fun. Too much focus required to pay attention to boost, rpm, throttle position, and traction. If you make a mistake, the car can really get away from you fast.
That's why these are generally better for racing. You are in a controlled environment and the variables are fewer. I'm not saying you couldn't street drive it, you could. It just wouldn't be especially friendly for doing everyday stuff. It will undoubtedly run like a scalded ape when you want it to, but don't let it catch you not paying attention...
