Sheddy I saw you praise the BMS Stage 1 box.....which I was excited about since I already bought it. But then as I read on further I saw that you and a few others have switched over to the TTI Stage 2+ and now I am wondering if I made a mistake......especially after seeing Nukes dyno results holy cow.
I have an Injen intake and from the stock DP back is straight pipe with 2 Vibrant resonators inline. I will be adding a PPE catless DP in the future also. So now I ask, with the few bolt ons I have, which route should I go? TTI or BMS? Please say BMS as I already have it coming LOL just kidding! But seriously, I just am looking to get as much as I can out of this motor/turbo...safely obviously. I don't want to hear the whole crap about if you wanted power you should have bought something else.....no crap. If I wanted power I WOULD have bought something else or shoot I would have just kept my husbands F when he sold it. I have had the 200t now for a little over a year and I can't wait to see what it can do.

Been following this thread for a couple years now but this is my first time posting. I’m curious if anyone has come across this tuning company?
http://tuningtechfs.com/lexus-is-200...-2016-present/
TTFS requires ECUs to be mailed in for tuning.

This company had this posted for some time, but i've yet to see any results or feedback regarding their product on their website

Nice idea but only for looks, however if your thinking it will add some performance then I guess think again :P if you want to enhance cooling then way to go is to change the IC radiator since our car has two radiators one is responsible for cooling the liquid from IC

It will definitely add some “cool” appearance factor, but from the reviews I’ve read is that it actually does help keep the temperature down a bit. Using this on our intercooler can help with excessive engine bay heat essentially lowering the IAT which is a plus. I don’t want to mess with the intercooler coolant radiator, but If this is good enough for TRD to use it then why not try lol.
and changing the radiator is not a big deal since so many options for even coolants are out there that will outperform the stock

I believe the inercooler radiator is sandwiched between the condenser and engine radiator. So upgrading it may be more difficult that you think.

I plan on picking up one of their kits, fabbing a custom charge pipe+intercooler to throttle body pipe and boring the throttle body to create a consistent 2.5” plenum. I understand larger tubing might cause a slight pressure drop for now but I also don’t plan on keeping the turbo stock once tuning progresses.
