Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Good thing I placed my order for a free turbo kit with free shipping before they got sold out

 

One of the lucky few!

 

The most current version is 04B04. Its from the two new TSBs 00-58-18 or 00-62-18.

 

How sad that this thread has come to someone being afraid to ask questions. Some of you should be ashamed. I think a lot of this is because it's hard to follow with all the BS, aka people with nothing better to do than to sit in here all day and talk about nothing, clogging up the thread with non-tune talk. I've learned that you can ignore people from the thread through their profile, there's 5 or 6 that are just ridiculous, I feel sorry for them. No need to reply you 5 or 6, I won't see it anyway

 

That question is legit, but 90% of the questions r asked over and over again bc most people refuse to try and read any info, even on the same page. That's what's clogging up a big chunk of this thread. Most of these people "scared" to pull the trigger wouldn't be scared if they put a little more time in to some basic research.

 

How can you be expected to do research if you don't have a Ph.D.?

 

I would go to the dealer 1st, get your TSB done. They may gripe and say they need to diagnose it and will charge you a fee if symptons not found if you are out of 36K warranty. Bring a print out of the TSB update and be persistant. The latest TSB will improve things including your gas mileage. I just had mine done yesterday. Then you will be all set for the tune.

 

Not sure why anyone would feel intimidated by any thread on any forum... its just words. All the good information is on @OVTune 's posts. GO to the first post, look in the bottom right hand corner of the first post for the 2 arrows, hit the one to the left and read his posts from newest to oldest. Best way to get proper info in here.

You can either get the dealer to flash the TSB or you can do it yourself if you have the Tactrix and are able to find, download, install, and run Techstream and the TSB file. There are many many threads on how including many posts in this one too. Lots of folks got push back from the dealer and this is what started the DIY approach. If you were in Central Texas, I can flash this for you no problem. Ive done 10-15 in total now. Im betting there is someone close to you that could help you out

Uhhhhhh wat? You are obviously new here. Also, every thread on TW becomes a BS thread if its old enough. This one is. Relax bud, its all in good fun. Read what I posted above to @CenCal805 and it will help you wade through the crap.

 

My recommendation is to purchase the tune, if you've already decided on it. The rest of any issues will be answered during your setup process, by @OVTune himself. If u don't have the right ECU id you'll figure that out during setup and you'll need to go to dealer unless ovtune knows a work around.

 

This is a serious matter. Lot of us on stock ECU are getting humiliated every morning to work by minivans... LMAO seriously!

 

I am relaxed, just saying

 

In the past you mentioned yall were developing intake components and maybe exhaust components. Are these items still in the works? If not, is there a recommended exhaust setup we could get to reduce the bottle neck?

 

Won't happen in 1.05!

 

Any other details... did u get your shift lower than 31mph?

 

What is also frustrating is as soon as Matt post something, even in that very post, he mentions he will have more info soon, people explode with questions. Let him get the info out first, then ask. Asking a billion questions when he says he will have more info soon does not help the situation. The other thing, there really needs to be a Q&A section on the first post or a new thread specifically for questions.

 

wow really? I guess using the search function and some reading requires PHD???

 

Pretty sure that was sarcasm

 

I hope so

Thank you and @cstern1 both for your help. I'm in CA or I would take you up on your kind offer. I'll ask the dealership to do it and hopefully not get any pushback. I know it's frustrating for you that follow this thread to see questions asked over again. I did try to find the info myself but just couldn't find the latest version and wasn't sure how to best go about it.
