Fimmo certainly owned one. Whether or not he used it...
He had it up for sale too.

I'm currently in the process of fitting a 3VZ-FE to my NA MR2 and i was wondering if anyone on here had any luck running them on the MR2's. How easy/hard is it to set up and such!
Re: Nitrous - anybody running it?
You can run nitrous on anything, just has to be fitted the right way.
You would need a direct port system with a fuel pressure regulator on the fuel side to control the pressure for the size of fuel jets used.
Nitrous Oxide Sytems kits are the only ones to look at, way ahead of any other makes

Yes you can do if you know what you are doing, but you will need to buy the right solenoids, they are designed and build for nitrous systems not just off the shelve ones.

Re: Nitrous - anybody running it?
I had a friend (who's a mechanic... to an extent) tell me that if i was running Nitrous, I would be going through valves like change in my back pocket.
Is this the case on a fuel rich setup and not pushing the engine to hard with say only a 50 or 75 shot of nitrous?

Why would nitrous give any problems with valves?
If it is designed and fitted correctly there will be no problems at all.
