Default alright, what does BPU stand for?

I have been a car guy for who knows how long, but I see the term BPU all the time in reference to Supras, and I have no idea what it means. I am kind of embarassed to admit this, but for as much as I know, I do not know what this means. Please inform me.

Yeah but Tozer never got BPU trademarked, he tried but got denied. IMO it was a dumb idea to try to trademark that, especially since there is no "set" list of mods that it actually stands for. However JoeD's list is generally considered BPU
