There's not much point anymore. The whole purpose is to get leanburn in a cvt (which was only available in foreign models.)

You can make a CVT leanburn now with just a Japanese ecu and a little wiring change and 02 sensor. You can get one for ~ $750 + shipping. So it would be cheaper to do that.

Now would i spend $750 (210 gallons worth of gas) to save 35 gallons of fuel a year?
