i am wondering is it possible to special order a tuned USDM ECU from Japan?
i saw this RGM video before, it looks fake... or the IS250 simply looks slow.... notice how they actually speed up the video just try to make the SC IS250 seem faster.

That's why TOMs is very specific in that their kit only applies to cars with JDM ECUs.
Note that the major item of programming for the supercharger is they program it to run on 100 octane, enabling the extra .8 lbs of boost over the LMS kit.
So unless you planned to run race gas all the time it's not a good plan to begin with.
The ECU isn't the major obsticable to high boost on the 2IS. 12:1 compression is.

Funny how everyone says they want boost but the first thing that comes out of their mouth is "price" Regardless of what comes out, it's all going to cost $5k+ period. Sorry but I'm just tired of the rants, especially when a company tries to come out with a quality product all people say is "I want it for less" makes no sense IMO.

More like 370 hp... but yeah, none of their numbers make any sense. Even at their altitude it should run faster than 15 in the 1/4 mile, and no way in hell a stock 250 motor can hold enough boost to add 166 hp.... that's more than 3x the gains I've seen anyone prove on any ISx50 supercharger.
