"For a more spirited driving experience, throttle response of the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine has also been enhanced to deliver a more direct feeling of acceleration in the new RC"

That's interesting.

I’d be shocked if they put out an update that we could get at dealerships helping with throttle.

Anyone know if the BMS Stage 1 works on a 2018 IS Turbo? From everything I've seen, including others who have posted on this thread/forum, it works fine. In fact the guy above me has an 18 and is using the BMS. Reason I ask is cause someone purchased the BMS from me and now they say the plugs don't fit their 18 IS turbo. I am not as good as Sheddy is on these topics so maybe he can identify why it's not plugging in??

He is doing something wrong there is only one version of the BMS tuner and it fits fine. We need pictures to see where and what he is trying to plug into the tuner.

The 2018's are the same. Definitely get some pictures of where he is trying to connect them.

Edit- I just saw the thread. @E46CT part of your connector came off and got stuck in the BMS sensor which is causing the issue. The white part of the connector should be missing on your plug.

My charge pipe and oil catch cans came in.
Hopefully will get them installed this weekend.
Currently waiting for the TMD from TTi.
