I would recommend that. I felt a difference w/just stock MAP. You should feel some difference at full throttle.

I know I need:

a Scan tool. usb from scan to my laptop. Anything else? I've heard and read talk of the wide band... Does this just go into the OBDII port, or does it thread into the existing O2 bung near my Y-pipe.

I really wish someone would do an adequate write up on tuning. The PDF is cool and all but I need something more like MAF Cali; Tuning for DUMMIES... LOL.

the utune is a great guide, read it, then read it ten more time til you understand.

You'll need a wideband to tune you open loop trims, which is more of what youll want to change as you wont get much of a benefit tuning clooped loop as the computer will always try to get the AFR back to 14.7.

the wideband is another type of o2 sensor, that as its title says, reads a "wider band" of air/fuel mixture. youll need to have a new bung welded in the header, or ypipe to mount the sensor, and either run the wires to your laptop, or to a wideband gauge to monitor at all times.

Yeah Im looking into the PLX devices right now. Trying to justify the tuning cost. Its looking rough.

Here is a good question. Where did they say Gadget and the Tech shop was located??? LOL....

[roxspin72]

Hey Tacoskim, Did Gadget use this device to tune your truck. Right now just by reading, I believe I can read both the OBD II & wide band sensor, once installed.

Anyone else use this, The price is great compared to others like the PLX. But Damn I am on the fence with this whole situation. And I still have to get the O2 bung welded on to my header. Wow. I really did not think this out.

You are one lucky dude Tacoskim.

pick that lm2 up, its a great deal!!!

Gadget used the Lm1 to tune mine when he did it last year.

After Gadget tuned my truck he gave me a ride in his URD Supercharged Xrunner and holy shit is that thing fast!! his truck pulls so hard and its so quiet while doing it. hands down fastest tacoma out there!! that thing is so beastly words cant even explain the power it has.

Thanks Again Gadget!

I was a pleasure meeting you and having the opportunity to tune your truck!

Don't be a stranger. You are not far away!!
