    If 5spd, shouldn't be to technical. Its the automatics, the tps issue AND the transmission have to be from a 03-04.

    Tps doesn't seem like it would be to big a deal... Although if it really would need a new auto trans that would suck.

    Just ordered a OBD2 to USB from Amazon to be delivered Sunday. Hopefully I can get the tunes by then and test it out! Excited to see what can be done and how much better it can be than this piggyback.

    Other than not being able to retrofit your existing intake plenum or buy just the TPS part from Toyota since it's calibrated to the other end .... and it's like a $700+ part from Toyota...

    Which one did you get, @Shortman5 ?

    Alright so I know that support is only 03-04 but I went ahead and took my 99 (made 98 it says) ECU out to post pics on it. The more info the better right? @OVTune
    IMG_20190607_143215.jpg
    The letters and numbers on the chip above read "D MG 489" and "10T16" below the dmg one

    I can guarantee you anything I swap over is coming from a junk yard or a friends scrap yard. No way Im spending equal amounts to tune and swap everything over.

    The processer model number OVTune is looking for is under the red/yellow crayon. I'd suggest wiping that off with HIGH PERCENTAGE isopropyl alcohol (won't harm electronics) and getting a good photo or pencil/paper to get the stamped info off that chip.

    Sorry, I missed that you typed that as my eyes didn't see the text between the photos.

    Well, after reading for a bit the OV website I believe you have to use their cable. You order a kit off their website and it comes with everything you need.

    And I would not trust that thing. The only review says it’s fake.

    EDIT: After reading more into it the dongle that they send out is your license to use the software.

    I thought the same a few nights ago, so I read through that sole reviewers other reviews. Almost everything else they bought was one star and junk. They seem to like to complain on Amazon.

    Intake, exhaust, lift. Typical stuff.
    Your not going to be able to out tune the 3.4L design. If you get more than 10 HP from a stock engine, I'd be surprised.

    Maybe, but a good tune for the supercharger would work way better than a piggyback trying to fool the ECM.

    And you have to use the dongle that OV supplies which is your license to use the software. So not gonna work.
