I cannot see it either. Maybe post on YouTube. I can't find any 220d with aftermarket extausts on there

Is the hid kit plug and play?

I'm interested on how the exhaust sounds on a diesel, does it not sound more like a tank(ish)?

Hi all, sorry I have been away. I bought the alloys for 100 Pre-owned, bargain. The wheels actually did not firm it up to much, it actually rolls easier over speed bumps. I need to change the 245 fronts to a smaller size, I get rubbing at a certain turning angle. Yes ham, I went to the workshop, they fitted and customised the box to my car.

Car

Just bought some 18 inch kei force 10s, Running 245 wide tyres front and rear.

I drove to their garage as I don't live to far to get them to install it.

They actually changed the map on the chip for my car, I tried the original tdi map but the car cut out during rapid acceleration. So they customised it till it ran smoothly with the car. I had to test drive new maps about 5 times. Happy with the result. Plus on the box, you get Eco to performance settings, I have it in the middle which is half Eco half performance.

I'm not sure tbh. The box does the exact same thing. Only difference is, if you want your car back to standard, you only have to take the chip out of the car and that's it. With a remap, you must go to a specialist to get the standard map back

If I remember correctly it's on the outskirts of East London. Best to Google it. It's a chip. It was £345.

I've have had the springs for approx 3500 miles. No problems at all. I have a tdi-tuning box which modifies the fuel intake and boost. TDi tuning claim it would be 220bhp and 480nm torque. When it was installed, I noticed a huge difference.

Thanks, the are H&R springs 35mm drop. The ride is stiffer on the speed bumps and occasionally scraps on the top of the bump. But on normal roads it's actually not to bad, still pretty smooth. My friends still thinks it's a smooth drive.

You might be able to see here, I would say I have about 3 to 4cm till the wheel is flush with the arch

I heard wheel spacers mess up the turning circle of the vehicle. I have 16 inch alloys, soon to be changed, with lowering springs and it looks so much better. Needs spacer thou, now the wheel in tucked somewhere inside the arch, I have to bend over to see them hehe.

Hi Zoran, what's the difference between the pro boost 2 racechip and sprint booster?

Tbh, I don't think I have ever heard a diesel with aftermarket exhaust. I must YouTube it

Hi spartan, I would say the tuning box if definitely worth the money for the IS. I'm also looking at new alloys, kei force 10s, 18 inch. I have mot done anything to my exhaust so it still sounds original. I would like a new air filter too, with a tuning box as it's pushing more fuel and boost in the the engine. I would imagine a better air intake would make a notable difference.

I think I could get it to 50mpg, if cruising at 70mph with the tdi box set to economic mode. Currently in the middle out of I think 5 settings. Eco to performance. I will give it a try someday. I also tried redex in the fuel but just make the car puff white smoke so I stopped. :)

I would say the box is worth the money, make the car feel a different car, performance wise. I would say it's plus 200bhp easy as the difference is so noticeable. With my current wheel I have about an inch space left. Obviously with bigger alloys, you'll have smaller tyres on the IS. I think you could squeeze them in. I get 48mpg on a motorway, when I cruise about 80mph. I live in germamy, it's legal ;) the lowest I've seen my average is 39.8mpg.

I just recently bought an IS220D a few months ago and couldn't wait to add a few modifications to it. First thing I bought was a tuning box from TDi Tuning, they thought they could only alter the fuel injection on the IS until the looked under the bonnet, turns out there was a connection to the turbo too.... bonus. They claim it would have approx 220BHP and 470NM torque. As soon as it was installed and I took it for a test drive with them, the difference put a huge smile on my face. Slightly less turbo lag under 2 revs, but the torque is amazing mid range. Although it's not a modification, I seen so many posts about the EGR, so I had that taken off and cleaned. It was pretty packed up with carbon, the car had only done 65,000 miles. Then I bought H&R lowering springs, they said 35mm drop, seems like more to me but I didn't measure. After installment, the ride is a little firmer, I can fell speed bumps and pot holes more than I did before. But far less roll going around the corners and the car looks far better. And recently had my windows tinted, not fully dark, I don't want it to look to much aftermarket, I also had the front windows tinted to a just legal shade. I am looking at alloy wheels next, most likely 18 inch lexus wheels. Currently have really ugly 16 inch lexus wheels. Previous owner sprayed black. What do you have?
