there have literally been a handful of excuses for not being able to produce more power. The handicapped’ USA ecu is the newest update. Stacking the piggyback ontop of the reflash gives you a better lower end but doesn’t do anything for the high end

We’ve made some progress, slow, but still moving.

I can’t deal with the negativity man. I understand your frustration since you have already bought 2 different re-flash tunes and now a BMS piggyback. Seeing what is to come with the TG20 I am excited about the 8AR future. My car is way more fun to drive than when it was stock, I do agree that with our current mods we should see gains like Nuke (260whp 290wtq), so let’s see what happens next.
Look forward to your endeavors of more power but -- Just enjoy our cars for what they are as they are already fun/quick cars straight out of the box -- that's the real positivity here =)

I feel your enthusiasm but it's also good to be honest about these things since people are spending real money here--newcomers who really want to know whats up and not get false hopes. Lexus has it locked down pretty good and there's some hardware bottlenecks.

Kicking and screaming is not my thing...patience is a virtue 
, plus i know first hand how complex our ecu roms are, there is a lock that is not allowing us to boost further, and its a map lock due to limitations from the tuning softwares available for our platform, i know for a fact you wont take that into consideration but am here to share what i know for thoes who care to know.
i have already mentioned that my ecu is not unlocked by any means, and there is no physical difference in ecus of us and eu its just the ROM is not the same it is indeed different including the maps, refer back to old pages when my car was not makin boost, that was when TTI didnt know there was big difference in maps.
lasty i was referred to your dyno chart since u mentioned few times that your making 350wtq

Sheddy it’s not a competition. You realize here in the USA we’ve only seen 10whp from the tunes. Bolt ons as a whole are producing more hp than the actual tunes. Sounds pretty stagnant to me, expecially two years later. So our handicapped USA was the newest update discovered only 2 weeks ago. If that’s true then damn lol’ that took forever to figure out. Maybe we can buy the UK ecu, however it appears the Lexus part guys can’t see a different ecu overseas. They believe it’s all the same and asked why Lexus would lexus even do such a thing. The only thing they could tell me is the programming difference between a nx/is. TTI seems pretty confident about the matter and I believe he will find a fix, hopefully sooner rather than later. Further more I’m not trying to decredit anyone’s information. I’m just trying to researching the information I was given. Love u
Thanks for the love lol. I totally get what you're saying. The reason why i do believe this claim is that when i was there with the tuner he showed me and explained the adjustments that were done on the tables and every time we made a change and ran the car the results were the same. He himself was confused by it, and i told him that Tony mentioned ECU limitations and he agreed that it can be a possibility. He is still interested in tuning my car, but needs time to do some more research.

You don’t need to be so condescending. What’s wrong with you? I never said I hit 350wtq, show me saying I hit 350wtq once and I’ll transfer you $100. What are you trying to prove? This forum is so congested we should just trash it and start over. It sounds like the issue is that the tuning software is limiting us, it’s up to TTI or any tuner’ for that matter to crack it. That’s they’re job. That makes a lot more sense than Lexus randomly giving the EU a more applicable Ecu. Nuke your best reading was 299wtq. Is that the same map you have now?
i bet you if you start to make your questions more constructive and less aggressive, you would get a response from these tuners even here on the forum
sorry didn’t mean 350 but rather 300and they are not advertising these numbers coz 95% of their customers are US based and they haven’t found a way to unlock the same maps yet

Yes I still have the same MAP and it rides amazing, and in my opinion we should give all the tuners the support they need to crack it rather than complain about it, Sheddy is actually doing that he is testing various maps in efforts to help crack this, hell am not US ROM version and am helping on that too, what am trying to say is kinda similar to what Dave is saying but on a larger scale, if you don’t have a supporting comment or a genune question better not post, and trust me am not talking about TTI here am talking all posts in general.
