The iTPC project is a DOE approved upgrade to the STAR detector at BNL RHIC. The project involves rebuilding the readout region for the 24 inner sectors of the STAR Time Projection Chamber. The inner sectors will be outfitted with hermetic pad planes, new wire grids and higher density readout electronics, with the goal of extended rapidity range, coverage to lower pT and improved dE/dx resolution. Details of these improvements and performance results from one iTPC sector installed during the 2018 RHIC Run will be presented.
