This is awesome news. I can't wait until the release date and pricing are announced. I dont even have my turbo yet, but I think that I could use this to get a little more out of the mostly stock engine, plus I'm adding exhaust mods soon. So hopefully i'll tune for that as well.
One question though... Unless I missed it, I haven't seen anywhere if this allows control or atleast influence over VVT-i. Is that a possibility with this unit?

lol its just a feature for those who needs it.. cant hurt to have those features.. Stock setup, i dont see a reason to tweak with it.. prolly not much gains and just hurts driveability.. but i dont think our vtti sucks, our tc power band is fine good balance of tq/hp
^ You are probably right, however stock tunes on standard vehicles usually lean towards fuel efficiency and lower emissions. Depending on the tune Toyota has employed, there may be untapped potential. I do like how the stock system balances torque with hp, but I also see what cburglb34 is saying in that its so smooth as to feel uneventful. Theres just no surge because power is applied so seemlessly. Its a good thing in terms of output efficiency but it looses some in the fun department, its just not as gratifying to wrap the tach.
Still in the end I'd rather have seemless power and beat some dork in a modded civic then have the engine feel more powerful at the top and loose or barely beat the other car.
