Nobody out here knows the platform well enough I'm afraid. That's why I haven't bought the PTuning kit yet. I am going to go talk to the guy that tuned my tC. See if he is willing to work with the FR-S N/A to get a feel for it.

Although you might have better luck if you are a local :P

You might want to look into an e-tune from us if you're going with our turbo system, i.e. if you can't find a reputable tuner in your area. We have roughly 1000 dyno pulls on our shop car alone just for developing the maps for our turbo system and countless dyno tuning sessions with other turbo, SC, and NA tunes that have come through the shop.


Not sure what octane fuel are available on the island but if you have 93 octane at all the pumps, you're set.

That may be what I end up doing :P. I ran into the same issues before. Hawaii has 92 Oct FYI .

You guys did great work with the tC stuff, brand loyalty FTW!
