And my huge bias; I trust a Toyota backed company waaaay more then an independent tuner - even if they've been around for a long time. Generally speaking; more money + better engineers + more sophisticated tech = superior product. Now whether that's true or not... who knows, but it stands to reason :happy0180:
I'm not trying to be a smartass.. but really? I've lost confidence in TRD over the years. I bought their Supercharger for my 2004 Tacoma and it still required additional tuning to get it to run properly. Now it runs great and has been for thousands of miles but in my case TRD fell short

I'm hoping this was unique to the Tacoma. Perhaps their R&D for the FR-S will be better funded in both engineering and budget.
