Nice one bro.

The leather seats of the 2015 MS is already comfortable, but that looks much more comfy...

pwede but for what purpose? if you are after the response and wider powerband then i think mas cheaper na if you go direct for remapping with your non-vgt turbo. they can tune it to increase the response and you got more power output than the stock vgt. i own a vgt and may turbo lag pa rin kaya i installed a throttle controller...

It is very comfortable cathy. Specially on the lower back. I just love it. My wife loves it too. She experiences lower back pain like me so these are really suited for us.

Wider powerband meaning from low end grunt to high end? Or only the latter? Excuse my ignorance, havent really read much about the ecutek remapping.

yes,the vgt turbo since variable nga yung opening/closing ng vanes spools earlier at lower rpm than a non vgt turbo. supposed to be ma-lessen ang turbo lag but meron pa rin kahit vgt. sa remapping i think a stock non-vgt with just a k&n can reach 210whp or more. its more value for money than trying to tinker with a tuning chip. check out with bro zix, speedworks did some remapping sa shop niya.
