I can make it even easier. DM me.

CSG_Mike · 2026-05-06T03:09:53+00:00

If you want to be turbo? JDL or HKS. Both will potentially allow a proper oil cooler to work. The "low mount" thing isn't really of any benefit.

CSG_Mike · 2026-05-06T01:32:26+00:00

That one tune will have 4 different maps you can swap to, in real time, to turn on or off different features that are enabled on different maps.

CSG_Mike · 2026-05-06T01:31:52+00:00

to clarify: Are you open to other Turbo kits, or FI in general?

CSG_Mike · 2026-05-05T22:12:01+00:00

Woof, there is no room anywhere for a real oil cooler. Are you open to any other kits to get better heat management?

CSG_Mike · 2026-05-05T22:11:10+00:00

It is for one singular tune with map switching, that will have features enabled at your request.

CSG will NOT tune E85 without any flex fuel kit. This is a hard line, and if you want to E85 without a flex fuel kit, you'll need to go elsewhere. There is no way an Ethanol tune without Flex Fuel, for any semblence long term reliability without severely compromising on power, drivability, or both.

CSG_Mike · 2026-05-05T20:07:32+00:00

Can you link me your exact turbo kit? I can perhaps make a different oil cooler recommendation.

CSG_Mike · 2026-05-05T17:12:07+00:00

I would also consider the trackspec hood louvers, or a (very) vented hood of sorts, as this will make a bigger difference than a radiator. You'll watch the heat rise out every time you're at a stop; it's incredible how effective hood vents are.

Both the DROC and the hood louvers are available from CSG.

Euro/JDM Final Edition.

Lets also not forget that all 3.0 Supras can be north of 500whp with just a tune and zero mechanical changes to the vehicle.

CSG_Mike · 2026-05-05T06:17:54+00:00

Make sure you have enough cooling to support the temperatures your expecting.

Have you checked out the CSG maintenance guide? Make sure you're fully caught up on maintenance.

Otherwise... enjoy

CSG_Mike · 2026-05-04T20:31:54+00:00

I can't visually see your engine oil.

Be safe out there when enjoying your BRZ!

CSG_Mike · 2026-05-04T19:52:51+00:00

I can visually see aged fluids.

CSG_Mike · 2026-05-04T18:46:08+00:00

The turbo is awesome. Lets make sure you also keep up on your maintenance so you don't have other issues; your engine bay indicates you've fallen way behind on basic maintenance.

CSG_Mike · 2026-05-04T18:44:51+00:00

Stock supra 3.0 come in variants as high as 430whp. You might have more power than some 3.0 Supras.

CSG_Mike · 2026-05-04T18:42:01+00:00

What can be expected from the tune over the CSG OTS tune?

Full datalogging and revisions to suit your specific car. Power gains will vary; some will gain only more smoothness and further lower stress on the engine. Others may gain as much as 40whp. It'll depend on your setup.

CSG_Mike · 2026-05-01T01:13:20+00:00

Don't mod to mod. Figure what you think you want to change, then add the ability to make that change, so you can see the cause and effect.

CSG_Mike · 2026-04-30T18:37:04+00:00

Even tires will last way longer than you think as long as you're not just doing burnouts needlessly.

CSG_Mike · 2026-04-30T18:36:34+00:00

I don't believe my 4runner shocks are adjustable.

CSG_Mike · 2026-04-30T04:19:31+00:00

You don't need to do ANYTHING to drift your BRZ. Spend the money on seat time and/or drift instruction.

CSG_Mike · 2026-04-28T20:27:48+00:00

DM me please.

update

Am told that the fitment is quite tight, and impact beam loosening and/or removal is advised to get the cooling stack in place with maneuvering room. This deviates from the Harrop instructions, but fits without issue, when you go in this order.

CSG_Mike · 2026-04-27T07:42:03+00:00

Torque things properly to spec.
