LEXUSWTF,
How do you like your Ventross CF lip? I am considering going with that one or possibly the I-code or Lexon CF lips. I prefer the look of the ventross, but have hear variable comments regarding poor fit, etc... I'm also concerned that it would scrape dips/driveways more than the other two I mentioned..... what's been your experience... ?

I did a search but couldn't find a answer. Does the ECU in the IS-F learn and make buying aftermarket intakes worthless? All I could find is some people thought the ECU would negate the 4-5HP gains from a new intake..

has anybody tried the l-tunedparts.com stuff? In particular, the "Blitz throttle Controller" or the equivalent from "Tom's Japan Linear throttle control system?"
I have an audi right now with a plug in (forgot what it's called) but it sort of gives the car an extra "oomph" when you hit the happy-pedal. Just curious if the L-tuned parts stuff is the equivalent?
If so, is it worth the $500+ ?

Yes, they are a reputable site. That's where I got my Joe-Z intake from. Fast service with no issues. As for the throttle controller, many on the site use and love them. But I can't vouch for any. I do know that throttle controllers control how sensitive the gas pedal is (i.e. you won't get more horsepower). So you'll have more options of what the "Sport" mode button does.

take a look at the A'PEXi throttle controller. It's half the price of the Tom's and gives you more modes to select from. I don't have personal experience with it yet (shipped today!) but have read good things about it. I decided to buy one based on the ECO modes alone. I've driven vehicle with an ECO, normal, and Sport mode and love the adjust ability based on my driving situation.

The main point of the ECO modes in a vehicle is to reteach you how to drive a car to maximize fuel economy, so you should see some improvement in fuel economy. Using what you have learned in the ECO modes, the goal is to improve your awareness of your throttle application during the Normal mode. Sport modes are when you don't give a d@mn and need some ***** (reduced MPG). This explanation comes straight from the horse's mouth (driveability development engineer) that I trust 110%.
