*UPDATE*
From my dyno testing the BMS tune seems to favor back pressure from the stock down-pipe. It made just as much torque as i did with the stock motor (221WHP 278WTQ) , but i did pick up 9WHP peak with the aftermarket down-pipe (230WHP 280WTQ) . Overall the BMS is an awesome plug and play tuner for those wanting to keep a stock motor. I shared my dyno results with Terry Burger and he told me that with higher octane fuel such as an E85 mix we would see much higher numbers.
The tuner quoted me $350 for the tune and the shop charges around $100 an hour for dyno time, so we are looking at around $450-$550. It will be Daniellina and i, so we may be able to work out a deal for doing both cars. I just loaded my TTI Stage 2 since it got better results than 2+ on my particular car, so my BMS w/ data cable is for sale if anyone is interested please PM me.
Happy New Year peoples!
I feel like the bms gives us a much better torque curve and eliminates most lag. I would keep it and use it with a reflash. I have mine set to +2psi with OV’s relash and it’s been amazing. Ask your tuner if he can send/sell the final tune. If you pay this guy well and go for a few more hours I bet he can get you over 320wtq with only a downpipe
So what are your actual TTi stage two + gains in hp and tq over the downpipe baseline?
Stage 2+ numbers are not defined since I did have a failing regulator 238WHP 263WTQ and down-pipe baseline was 232WHP 234WTQ. Stage 2 best was 239WHP 273WTQ, but that was with a sport catted down pipe.

So then stage two gives you about a 7-10whp while stage two + is to be determined. Did you have the chargepipe or hps intake with the runs or only a downpipe?

I had the HPS intake tube w/ K&N drop in and SPOWER catted down-pipe for my Stage 2.Stage 2+ and BMS testing I no longer had the HPS intake tube, but I have an F Sport filter, charge pipe, turbo muffler delete and PPE de-catted down pipe.
I inquired with a few local tuner shops and it looks like we might have some more hope. I noticed that as soon as I said Lexus is200t most of them put up a wall almost immediately. I learned to mention the tuning software programs instead such as bitbox or ecutek. Most of the local GTR shops seem to use the same programs so if you’re looking for a dynotune reflash try checking in with some high end tuner shops

I didn’t know ECUTEK was an option, that’s good since there’s a few local tuners that use it!
So uh...any idea how to get one of those in California? -- The AFE had better results, that's why I asked about that one
Ah got ya. The AFE actually had some modifications when they did their dyno. I believe they had an axle back exhaust and intake. I know the axle back doesn’t do much for performance, but I’m sure it makes a slight difference.
