We aim to do better than that.

- The power steering ECU assembly determines the direction and the amount of assist power in accordance with vehicle speed signals and signals from the torque sensor built into the power steering link assembly. As a result, the power steering ECU assembly adjusts the steering effort so that it is lighter during low speed driving and heavier during high speed driving.

I did in high 90° and after driving a hour and half to them, I had a remark exhaust (muffler delete) and intake pip stock air box - best I got without the tune was 179whp (so sad) after tune 202whp to it’s the first version of their tune, may even be better now with their updated tune

@d3Performance I'm super keen in your tune and am looking forward. Are there any updates on the hybrid turbo and just wondering if you have looked into the cooling system as well to maximize the potential of your tune?

We should get the modified turbo back from the manufacturer next week. We have a few ideas on how to upgrade the air charge cooling system. We will need to see which one will be the best for this application.

yeah I will be interested in better turbo and intercooler. right now i am pulling 231hp and 269ftlbs.
I am wondering even if we get a newer turbo, it's still going to reach the boost the ECU wants. It uses a reversed wastegate control off a vacuum pump driven by the ext cam and that infamous VRV.
I wish someone would manufacture manifold and charge pipe kit so we can drop in something like a GT35 with a front mount or something like that. and use normal boost controller. I would love a better intake manifold too.
I bought this model cause the 8AR was suppose to replace the 3s-gte. I think maybe in 5 years it will be there, except I'll own something newer.
I can't cause I don't turn wrenches anymore and all the crowds I use to orbit around during the 1 and 2J days are all moved on too.

Hopefully the D3Peformance tune works out, Im going to give this platform one last chance.
