ETA is looking like August, but we are pressing the engineers to work faster. Good things come to those who wait, as we are pending final dyno testing on American vehicles using US gasoline grades. (Japan has much higher octane levels, and a system that makes some power in Japan frequently will not make power in the US)

We do not expect massive power gains from this power plant and a stand-alone exhaust upgrade, but nonetheless, the product will not be released unless it makes sufficient power.

The MSRP is expected to be similar to our offerings for the Scion, which is under $400 dollars, and street price is always expected to be less than MSRP.

it should. after reading the tanabe website.. ( www.tanabe-usa.com ) it said they use Advantex, which is more high flowing and longlasting than standard fiberglass packaging. More-flow = more power.

we'll see the gains when they arrive here (august?)
