You still need a piggy back to tune the car for the added air due to larger size maf. If you need the housing hit me up, i have 2 available

ok thanks....can i use the HKS GCC i alraedy have? i wonder if it will work independent of the VPC...?? i hate being so ignorant ...im pretty shure my car has the 550 inj. not shure what they look like tho...i bought this car allready modded so im lost lol...and it runs good but im not diggin the low end throttle response associated with the VPC. it seems to run diff depending on atmospheric conditions. maybe im just in over my head.:nono: i knew i shouldda got a vette to fuel my mid life crisis.:evil2:
Yes, you can use the Lex meter. The car will run better with it, unless you have a bunch of problems to start with. You do need those 550's.
thanks nick ..just what i wanted to hear. will this one work?

I have a Lexus housing and electronics if you need one.
When my car was with a stock turbo it ran way better with a VPC. Is your car tuned?

it runs pretty good actually. but every now an again it throws a lil fit...and the throttle response from idle to around 2500 is kinda lack luster... WOT it will nail yu back in the seat HARD..... ive never owned aturbo car b4 soo i dont have any reference as to how it should run....but is seems like it could run better to me. idk if the PO had it tuned or not. im really not crazy abot messing with the GCC settings and i have played with the VPc but it gets worse if i change anything. right now all the VPC knobs are at 12 except for initial response is at 1 and the opt out is at 5...it runs well enough thati enjoy driving it i just think it could be improved. currently the temp sensor for the VPc is mounted after the throttle body in the intake manifold. im tempted to move it to the IC pipe before the throttel body like in a stage 7 setup to see if that makes any diff. i live about an hour from atlanta so i could prolly find a good tuner i guess.

Sure will. But a replica with the adjustment screw will work better. My replica from LIPP is a very nice piece.
I'd like to point out that the VPC is superior to the lexus afm in, oh, every way. Just because you are having a problem with it doesn't mean you should replace it. Find the problem.

No worries
It's an option to swap in the lexus afm but I haven't ever heard of anyone swapping OUT a VPC for the AFM, its considered an upgrade to go the other way.
well the PO stuffed all the HKS piggyback stuff in the glovebox....so yu can imagine the freakin gob of wires:yikes: and today i was poking around in there with the engine running and it started running crappy on me....so i think i have a bad connection in there somewhere i rekon...gonna be fun tryin ta find THAT!! :nono:
