    Fwiw, the limitation at cold temps like that is worth it, for safety reasons and from a drivability standpoint. Can you imagine how many people would be in icy conditions and turning their shit loose and crashing and then blaming their tune? "The tune's drivability is horrible because I just skidded with no control into a happy family of 4!" Lol...

    I can't remember the results honestly but iirc, @Formidable tested this too. Just can't remember if it enabled everything. It was last winter.

    That's right. There is a supplied harness in the kit.

    TCS is always off for dyno testing. It has no affect on this torque limitation.

    I think it was tried as I remember some chatter about being full stopped to do it?

    My BRZ does limit the RPM at startup to around 4500 max initially before allowing full 7000rpm+ after its warmed up. I wouldn't rev any car over 3k rpm when it's cold though

    Yes we saw it on the street and we were wondering wtf as boost was limited to like 3-5 psi. TC off did nothing. We also confirmed and aborted dyno session. When snow flake pops up torque is limited.
