Indeed. They could be intentionally holding back a little bit so TRD & STI branded parts can show gains and rationalize the asking price. IMO the "credibility hit" you mention isn't really at play. The known BMEP numbers aren't bad, they're the upper end of the average as I showed a few posts ago. It's nothing to tuck your tail about, especially when put in the context of it being a hopped up FB20.
It's true, ECU tuneability on n/a engines isn't as big a deal, as there's less left on the table from the OEM typically. I think most of the ECU tuning fans are likely planning on FI in the future. Of course, ECU tuneability will help the n/a guys that want wild cams, tuned headers and intake manifolds too.

LOL :happy0180:
Yes, we're just making semi-educated guesses at this point. In two weeks when the car is revealed, we may have more info. After that, we'll have to see how the cards are laid before making a concrete judgement.
