Thank you Nick... the bottom line is we are trying to make sure we make consistent smooth power gains throughout the RPM range. We will post a new thread very soon, as we finalize pricing and results.
I want to thank everyone who has provided us with baseline datalogs. One thing I learned is that datalogging Techstream with the cheap ebay/amazon $25 cable is not good. For laptop logging you really need the Mongoose cable.
That said, iphone apps and OBD bluetooth devices work really well for datalogging. I have used Dashcommand with the PLX wifi device and it logs really well (but not all the Toyota specific parameters that you get with Techstream).

It's not counterfeit per se. The industry isn't very precise about nomenclature, so calling it a Mongoose cable isn't totally wrong, but it definitely is not made by Drew Tech. That's an xHorse unit.
I am sure at some point I'll get a proper Mongoose cable. Probably the bluetooth enabled one so I can put my laptop anywhere and work on the car. Last time I did the transmission fluid level check I had a power cord running through the driver's window over a towel because I don't trust my laptop's battery anymore.
