I just added the 08-10 ISF steering ECU to my car, ( 89650-53040) I can attest that using ECT power mode does stiffen up the steering. Feel pretty good on the 06 IS350
Wow the ecu is direct fit? And where is the steering ecu location?

I just swapped my 09 250 Sport to a 2012 250 f-sport. The first thing I noticed, to my surprise was that the steering is notable lighter on the new f-sport. The steering feel was much heavier on my old 09 sport. It takes a bit strength to do a u-turn with one hand rotating on the steering. Now I'm kind of miss that feel...
Did you have it calibrated? Some people have indicated it gets stiffer after a bit of time. That being said, I would have expected the steering feel to stay somewhat consistent between 2009 and 2012 Sport/F-Sport ECU's.
If you already had a Sport ECU, I would have gone for the IS F ECU.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I changed 09 250 to a new car, a 2012 f-sport. I'm just surprised that the new f-sport steering feels lighter than my old 09 sport. I hope it will get stiffer over time as you said.
Just ordered a '11 ISF Steering ECU. When you get it calibrated, do they have to calibrate to specific points or will the Techstream know automatically how to calibrate it when plugged in?
