    I was super active on here a year or two ago. Heard everybody sing Ovtune praises forever so I went ahead and bought it a few months back.

    I started having issues with it so I started snooping around. Apparently there's KDMax and people are saying it's way better? And the OVTune account is banned or deleted?

    What the hell happened?

    Shit went down in the "what have you done to your 3rd gen" thread. Things were said. Asses were hurt. Drama ensued. Bans happened.

    Looks like a Gen2.5 TRD Sport, but really an '08 TRD OffRoad
    TRD Supercharged / OTT Tuned
    OVT was near expert level tuning and fab.
    He was stretched too thin from inquiries/questions from the bottom floor easy level.
    And stretched even thinner providing tech support for this TT kit and etc.......and then the bottom fell out.

    OVT can be found at their own forum/channel now.

    I still use his handheld tuner and its worked perfect for me.

    OVT set up his own forum to better manage all questions. By removing him from TW, it gets rid of all the drama queens that suck up any worthwhile discussion.
    I too purchased OVT software a few months ago and just installed KDMax tune a few weeks ago myself. Well worth it.

    I’ve been out of the loop for so long, I don’t even know if the other tuners use a modified VFTune base map or not

    The thread was cleansed of all the drama...thread was locked and posts were deleted.

    Edit, the thread is back open now, but warnings were handed out.
