    I received a stock ecu off eBay today. It was 130.00 dollars. After Loginfailed and GT7’s experiences, I’m taking their word for it and dumping the TRD flash and going with a stock ecu when I finally install my Ucon. I highly appreciate their pioneering and heartache on these mods.

    Rods and pistons are the known weak links. So if yall wanna push it id invest in forged rods, pistons, head studs, and a mls head gasket. Simple build yet well take the punishment for much longer.

    I believe it is more with the '12+ models. The 06-08 have had a lot fewer complaints, from what I have observed.
