^ interesting.
Also still haven't seen:
1) a video showing a 0-60 run from a dead stand still. no brake torquing. just flooring it. i want to see if the delay is removed. can you TTI tuned guys get wheel spin from a dead stand still or does it just lazily accelerate? When I drove a 328i before, the rear wheels screamed for traction off the line and even chirped 2nd a little bit. supreme german torque--and this was with a loaded car--3 people inside. i hope we can do that? If we can w/ a reflash, then thats probably some sign the delay is removed when taking off.
2) do we have a before and after data log SHOWING/PROVING the throttle opening is 100% the instant the pedal is floored. Basically log info to show this is definitely tuned out? A before and after showing 30% limitation and 0% limitation.

No, I bought the part online and replaced it myself. I don't want to take it to the dealer due to my aftermarket bolt ons.

It's a PITA to replace IMO, so that's why i relocated it to a more accessible spot. My old regulator is in the original spot still lol.

Did a little research and discovered that BMW uses a similar unit for the vacuum regulator. Our unit is also made in Germany, so i totally understand the reason for the failure rate.

If this Pierburg reference is fully compatible with our car it is very interesting as we can found same in France at Eur 58 ie around 68.5 USD. Assume that the cost at Lexus shop is more higher
For the time being no trouble with same but .....

The connector is the only thing that is different. The Lexus part sells for around $95-$110 online, but its no charge at the dealer once under warranty.
