If the Torque amp electric turbo actually works (which I'm not sold on) you'll want to have a way to modify and tune the ECU. As your tuner found out, Toyota doesn't let you do much to newer ECU's and virtually nothing for 3rd gens, it's never been cracked. If you add a significant amount of airflow in the engine you'll reach the upper end of your fuel system and risk leaning out in the higher boost situations. That's if this actually puts out any significant boost though. Your tuner should be able to add a boost gauge while tuning to see if it's actually doing anything.
You are right though, just adding a turbo of any kind with no fuel mods will end in a damaged engine. No way Toyota would cover it under warranty either.
