There was confusion on where my ECU had been delivered. The front desk at OV tuning had it and did not get it to the the tuner. Partially my fault for not emailing them my tracking number. Anyway they started the tuning process but with with Memorial Day it was not shipped out. Hopefully it'll be shipped out tomorrow, Ill be away from home Weds. By Thursday night I should have some impressions. OV hopefully will be posting progress on their FB page.
fingers crossed the tune makes a good difference! these motors are so restricted. so much potential here esp with bolt ons

Update: Looks like OV is having issues with the read/write on the ECU processors. Pretty much it's delayed for now. Hopefully I won't have to send in my ECU again and will be able to do it through OBD. I'm disappointed but appreciate that OV was honest about not being able to tune the ECU. The price to get into this wasn't bad so I am still hanging on to hope that it we will have a legit tune. I'll keep you guys updated.
On another note, it was great to be able to drive my IS again. I haven't kept a car longer than 4 years but I think I might have finally found a car I want to keep......unless of course I get into an RCF...

TTFS doesn't have OBD for the 3rd gen IS just yet. They need an ECU sent out to them. The introductory price with OV is much more reasonable than with TTFS. I paid for the 3 phases through OV and will wait to see what happens. If they are unable to tune it then I will look into TTFS once they have their tune for the 3rd gen.

Only update I have is that they are moving from Colorado to San Diego! They will be offering in house dyno tuning which will make it a lot better for us. The move will take approximately 2 weeks from what they are saying.

They have had my ecu, its my understanding that they are going to return it to me after they get an is350 on a dyno and have an ideal tune for it. It seems he is busy with the move and other cars with a higher demand.

Yeah, thats basically what I am waiting for. I am local and paid for Phase I but unfortunately needed the ECU back so I could drive the IS. Once he is all settled I should be going in for the dyno tuning.
