I think the AFR reader that at the dyno you went have a problem thats why it shows 14 because I went to one dyno before and they AFR reader did the same shows that my car AFR is 15 LOL

Try to check online for dyno run for other ppl that have IS200T !!

I'm waiting on RR-Racing to finish their Tune because as i see what they did with the IS-F is something that no company did before..

Do you still have the VR tunned piggy back on your IS?

Here it is! I've been testing out the different maps and I think I finally got the best setting. All I have to say is WOW!! I don't know the official release date but this is a must have for 200t owners!

Is the turbo lagg improved at all or is it just upper end and what are the gains like? Also, how easy is it to switch between maps or settings? Thanks

The car feels super responsive, you'll feel the power throughout the power band. From testing 2 other piggybacks this one is by far the best and most enjoyable. If you are talking about the lag from the accelerator that is still present due to the ECU's programming. I believe that the default settings would be MAP 1 with a +4PSI over stock which is what i am settled on . Switching between maps would require the USB data cable and JB4 application but the other MAPS are not recommended yet since they require bolt ons such as a downpipe which is not available yet.

Interesting, thanks for the response! I wonder if an ecu flash will be able to take care of the initial lag as opposed to the piggybacks.

An actual reflash should be able to eliminate that since its able to adjust different variables, whereas the piggyback just enhances certain ECU signals. The good thing about a piggyback is that it can be easily removed for warranty/leasing purposes.

Just got my Vrtune installed. I'm running higher octane on setting 9 and feeling a huge difference in torque and overall power. I'm impressed with the powerbox material quality too

Sheddy, does it hijack the gauges like it does on BMW's? I'd love to have the fuel gauge work as a boost gauge. Thanks for posting the data! I've been emailing them for months about it.

Unfortunately not, that would of been cool though! I've been in contact with Terry Burger since he announced this product and knowing what they've done with BMW's and VW's i know this would be great. I am very satisfied with the driving experience from this piggyback.
