Default Weapon R and Skunk 2 products

I was wondering what everyones thoughts are on these 2 products. I can't find the Blitz Throttle Controller for a 2010 IS250. Has anyone tried the Weapon R? Is it worth it? Is Weapon R a good quality product?

Has anyone tried an aftermarket Throttle Body?

Lexus IS 250 Skunk2 Pro Series Throttle Body
http://www.proimporttuners.com/parts...ttle-body.html

Whats the difference between that one and this one on ebay for $100?

Is a throttle body worth it? The key features look nice.

Thanks for any advice, just researching some ways to add a little more power to the250.

There are ZERO TBs that will work as a direct bolt-on for the 2IS AND not only that, they won't help out any if you could use them. The air flow is limited by CFM the stock intake manifold will flow AND what the motor naturally draws in during operation.

Those throttle controllers are just about useless; use the factory "power" mode if you want a more responsive throttle.

Thanks, Gville350. Yea, I've read mixed reviews about the Blitz Throttle Controller.

You can get the weapon R from ultrarev.com for $143 shipped, I just saw a vender post, use coupon code "weaponrsale"

Now is it worth it?
