I ran mine catless without a tune for about 3 weeks. CEL came on after about 50 miles but the vehicle never went into limp mode nor had any adverse effects on performance. Turbo definitely spooled a bit quicker. I'd recommend a stage 2 tune to make full use use of a catless DP however; it's a...
I have the AWE Touring with resonator and a catless DP. The resonator must help a lot with rasp cause I don't have any at all. I'd see if AWE can send you a midpipe with a resonator then pay the difference if there is any once they receive your current midpipe.
I recall seeing them on a90store but I just glanced over it. I'd most likely just get the center vents, the side vents make the hood look too busy imo.
I personally don't trust Toyota to work on the MKV. I've seen more than a few posts from people who have had difficulties at Toyota dealerships doing simple things like oil changes because not every Toyota tech is trained to work on the MKV. I'd only bring mine in for a warranty claim if it's...
I personally use BM3 after doing some research, determined that platform was the best for my personal needs. The OTS maps are strong but still conservative to maintain long term reliability. You do have the option to go custom tune which I may do down the road. I like BM3 due to the ease of use...
An upgraded heat exchanger is definitely in my future. Wouldn't be financially responsible of me to drop $4k+ right now on an intake manifold but that will most likely be the last mod I do to this car down the road.
I know this was asked a lot but I haven't seen a clear answer but since more people have bought them, with the mesh vents, is there adequate draining for water/debris?
I actually thought about starting to do this the other day, I really wish our hood vents were functional. I probably wont do this after coming home from work as I only live like 5 miles from my job but I will start leaving the garage door open for a few mins.

BOI! There's a search bar. You can use such fine keywords such as "the pitch" or "supra ad" or, "supra commercial"
Sorry, I'm just very cranky and hungry; hangry if you will.
I mean, probably shouldn't be looking at the speedometer when you're accelerating that fast anyway. In any event, I've never been in any high performance vehicle with a digital speedometer that can keep up with every number; jumping 3mph is pretty much the norm
I only know of one other modified MKV in my area but she's rocking the stock turbo like me. I'd be fully satisfied with 500whp, but I want that power with the instant acceleration I'm getting now. Closest E30 station is like 100 miles away too :(
