I am almost positive William tuned my WRX many, many, many moons ago. Loved the tune, had significant mods to support the power.

BUT, ISF is a totally different animal. I would need both hands to count the number of tuning options available for the Suby. Unfortunately, I don't need any fingers or toes to count the number of ISF tuning options.

I am hopeful, but as has been mentioned, these promises come and go on these boards. I definitely need two hands to count the number of times a solution was just around the corner for our cars, only to have them die a very disrespectful death.

I would be willing to make the trip from La La land to check it out, but I certainly won't be holding my breath on the way down. Here is to my slowly fading hope.

Sounds promising but we shall see!! Whoever locks down of the ability to tune the F is going to make a pretty penny initially. However, being there are no many out there the market will not be in continuous demand. This is probably why no one is really putting the time into R&D this option.

Thanks David for inquiring and updating us on the tune. Sounds good, but we will have to wait for the results.

does sound too good to be true but I guess we will all have to wait to see.
I mean our cars do compensate (tune) itself after I installed all the n/a bolt on's right? =)
would be sad if you cant tune a turbo isf

pretty sure they are not cracking the ecu, but if they did it would be a gigantic market they just punched a hole in since they can now tune every Lexus. what are the chances of that?

Sorry, but this sounds like air unless we have any concrete proof. I would love for it to be true, trust me. But as of now, we still have no proof of this.

Yeah TomW you are new to the F scene but the majority of threads here regarding ECU tuning end up dying. So many people have claimed to crack the ECU and tune the car but never report back with dyno results or specifics.
