It's more than throttle control, which I looked at years ago, it's as they say 'mapping' a better route than the original timing/restrictions placed on the 2GR-FSE engine. I don't hear that giving up, when it seems it could do more, at the high RPM's as I did. It's just more fun. I plan on having it at Hot Import Nights Nov. 22nd at Phx Conv. Center. I'm lucky to have vivid in my backyard.
Nice to meet the test IS350 im glad to hear that it actually worked, what else have you done to your car?

It's worth the money since it's the only option. If like to see someone purchase this.

who's baller enough to test it out? also, verify if works for the 250...

$700 is totally worth it from a performance stand point consideirng how much you get out of a $400 fsport intake and $1500 fsport exhaust

Somebody should buy one and flash local members ECU's for cheap. It would be a win win situation

$700 is still cheaper than most exhaust systems and yields more horse power. Thus less dollar per hp.

Not bad at $700. I'd be interested. Maybe my 250 will finally be able to beat a civic SI x.x...

I definitely agree with this being a good horsepower-per-dollar mod for the IS350 based on what had previously been available for the 2GR-FSE. Hopefully a flash tune is no longer a pipe dream for us!

lol, wut? 700 is expensive? people with this platform buy an air intake for 200-300 for 2whp and you would swear up and down you feel power throughout the rev range. **sighs**

but 700 is ridiculous? thats why companies stay away from platforms like this. cheap owners.

Doesn't look like they did the dyno right. Suppose to be in 4th gear not 3rd and in snow mode not power mode to get the accurate gain.
