Yea, a lot of these aftermarket tuning companies don't consider Lexus as a performance tuner brand.
makes sense why tony won’t talk about it with me. Even if it is expensive I’m sure they’re a few people that’ll pay top dollar. I’m still impressed with the platform we have 261whp on a Mustang dyno and rumored 265+ whp run. Those are very reputable numbers and could be higher on a dynojet. All that r&d but only one person in the uk is enjoying it lol
From what I've gathered they've never made a hybrid for the is200t but willing to look into! Anyone got a spare laying around? I might our purchase 1 on eBay and ship it to these guys.
Mamba also has a bolt on waste gate actuator with adjustable springs for boost. The tuning solution might not be as hard as we think. I’m pretty sure I know the exact tuning software used by some of our tuners. Also with a modified turbo it might be possible to just add a piggyback on top of it to extract its power. Like bms, vrtune, toms etc
It's a balanced CHRA (Center Housing Rotating Assembly). Looks like the upgrade (I can see) is the billet compressor wheel. I can not see any info on if it's taller or built differently from stock though. This is a balanced unit so you can just take apart your turbo and bolt this part into your compressor and turbine covers. A lighter billet compressor wheel is said to spool faster but Borg-Warner themselves was quoted in saying they make no performance difference. Billet is just more resistant to constant spin up then down which can lead to wheel fatigue and failure.
So if it's just billet, it is a pointless upgrade. If it's taller or has some kind of fin alteration, it could have an ability to move more air.
