Default HG tune is real!

I met a guy from HG Motor sports today and asked him about our tune. He said it is available and gains 30 wheel on a stock F. They said they advertised it and didn't get much feedback from people. They did that blue ISF but the guy sold it.

i'd really like to know what it tweaks. I know any Toyota ECU is very locked down. About the only way to tune would be a stand-alone or piggy back system. any details on the tweaks? I'm guessing mostly timing

He lied because there was A LOT of interest but they kept pushing it out stating they were waiting on this working on that. Then they stated it was done and they would be releasing info and dyno charts and then they became ghosts.

He was serious about it. He said it's an actual flash not a piggy back. Won't know till we try. I know everyone's already given up on the idea of a tune but this sounds like it could be it.

Need more info such as price and how does the flash work? Do we have to send in our ECU to get flashed?

Pretty much sums it up, even if it is a bit on the sarcastic side.

I talked to one of the main guys from HG last week at cars n coffee Carlsbad. He said its not released yet, waiting on cases or something. He did say they are currently running it on their mercedes cla with no problems. We will see..

Brad, please inform HGMS they need to re-up their vendor sponsor account in order to offer a group buy, and know for sure our members would really appreciate some concrete data before that. There was plenty of interest previously, but no details.

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...torsports.html

As a reminder, need to keep group buy discussions out of this thread so it can stay open please (I've edited a few posts).

I too highly doubt this to be true, but I'd love to proven wrong. My wallet and I anxiously await!

These threads have been happening since my Mr2 forum days, this will never happen. I feel bad for this guy, he seemed legitimately excited.
