The GR Supra uses the BMW B58 straight-six, an unusual turbo engine for Toyota. Mid-range Toyota petrol engines see a modest Stage 1 gain due to their naturally aspirated design. Toyota has historically focused on naturally aspirated, high-compression engines.
The Denso ECU is a locked Toyota platform, and most models do not respond to standard chip tuning. The GR models (Yaris GR, Supra) have a growing tuning culture.
