Default Vacuum regulator valve

Seems Lexus IS starting to take notice of the faulty part!
I was in for service today mentioned the boost issue and they printed out a symptom sheet
heres the print out..
side note it’s definitely covered under warranty.
I hope it’s a revised part *crosses fingers* lol

So I noticed how much better the car drives with a new one.
shifts better the turbo engages instantly I’ve gotten better mpg too
lasr but not least I feel more power because I don’t get that half open feeling like it holds peak boost longer
