Visconti blew it while attempting to develop an OTS tune to sell with the kit. The actual OTS tune sold with the kit is made by Delicious Tuning. Might be worth clarifying so people don't get the impression that Innovate is selling a kit with a v-tune on it

Thanks for putting the list together!

I'm confident mine would've let go in NA form, the boost just accelerated it.

Do they advertise it as a Visconti tune?

Yea, it was a few whp down compared to @vtmikes completely stock (at the time) FR-S.

Freaks me out to see that multiple people have had problems in the exact same spot. Me thinks it's an even better idea to just pull the motor to begin with an start from a built short block...

Besides Visconti, I would also like to know who these "bad" tuners are to make sure my tune isn't doing any damage to my car. If you won't post on here, link me to a thread that will or one that I can see some reviews on what tuners to trust with NA and FI tunes. Makes me strongly consider not going FI with so many blown engines and only few running more power than we know the stock internals can handles.

lexusb3 · 01-25-2014, 11:03 PM

^^ Only 5 ppl have blown tho that's a good risk to
Take, off of what the polls say of course
