**UPDATE**
Car is running well on the E20 fuel, but i did some more research and found out that the blender pumps with the E20 preset just mixes 87 OCT with E85 (around 92 OCT), so its not high in octane. To get the real performance ethanol mix you will need to blend 91 or 93 OCT with a couple gallons of E85 to make E30 or higher.

Can someone please help me, I just purchased a VR Tuned Box for my 2017 IS200T and the check engine light is on also the triangle with !. Im pretty sure it's connected properly. There are two similar cam sensors in the back i just chose the one on the driver side to plug the harness into, I'm not sure if that matters. I deff don't want the check engine light on, and It came on immediately once i started the car post install. Also my VR Box is the smaller version it's not the same larger box that you can see in the install pics (Sheddy's).

Make sure the box is on a lower setting eg. 5 or 6. Remove the box completely and plug all original connectors back, then remove battery terminal to reset the ECU. Once its reset, open the hood, lock the doors and wait for a couple minutes before re- installing. When you're done installing then you can try starting again and see if it still comes on. If you are still experiencing an issue then contact Vivid and let them know about your issue.

what is interesting about these dyno results. is that all three graphs show very similar numbers,with three different set ups.that leads me to believe that the weak link is the turbo itself.lets see some turbo mods.....

Right now TTI is in the testing phase of their "Stage 2 +" tune which increases boost to peak at 21PSI, so we should see some really good gains!

Aren't you running 22PSI? You should be making way more than us (TTI Stage 2 19PSI), have you taken it to the dyno yet?

Did you take it to the dyno? we would like to see your OV tune at 22 psi vs TTi's 21.7 psi tune.We know you went to the drag strip and ran the car and everything.

Looking forward to the turbo upgrade--that should finally free up some meaningful power for us 200T owners--otherwise some guy can just go straight to the nearest BMW dealer and unleash a can of whoop on 116 pages of 200t mods simply by signing on the dotted line on a 230i lease! until he straps on a box from Burger Motorsports that is--but hey progress is progress. The next bottle neck on the 200t after the turbo will probably be the manifold. it can only flow so much. Time to get working on that too.

Tony TTI, are you getting started on the new Lexus twin turbo V6? Now that will be a fun one!

One way or another I'll let you know all know what's happening. Although it's been weeks, based off of his expertise and confidence I'm sure it's just around the corner. I would imagine the claimed near 24psi will show its likes soon which is the only reason I bought his tune. Meanwhile I've been enjoying my blitz boost gauge adapter, I'll post some videos soon. Btw very nice whp on the newest TTI dyno that's the stuff that motivates buyers!
