    Redline custom leather shift and e-brake boot. VFTUNE Super Full Otto cycle, octane learning, premium fuel.
    I went ahead and ordered all of this today. It seems like the way to go. I already just run premium to prevent detonation. ( I know it has less energy per gram of fuel) I am looking forward to getting it set up. I am considering a thread to describe the process in my experience, so maybe it will help someone else.

    I payed the $79 but didn't get Tune pack. It's likely something I'm doing wrong. I'll delete everything from my laptop and start over with the downloads I was sent.

    First go to the website and download the software (flash manager), then you can send in a registration request and identify your ECU. There are instructions on the Ovtune website.

    I did the same a few years ago. Cost $325 for registration and took a couple days to get. After that, you’re good to go. Just follow the instructions.

    No problem man. We all have to learn.

    Download tactrix drivers. Download vf tune from the link, update if you can, start ov tune, follow instructions in link to get ECU id. If you have Techstream you can also use it to get ECU Id, and update it to the newest if you like. You only get 1 ecu ID per 75 dollar credits. Then submit ECU id to VF tune, they will send a link with your tunes. I hope this helps.

    You'll regret that statement once you enter the darkside of Ovtune. Hopefully your computer literate and good at deciphering thousands of pieces of info, plus missing info. The Tune is great once you figure out what works best for your application. Not just Year, Make, Model. All tacomas respond differently to different tunes. Be aggressive, ask a lot of questions and you'll get your truck dialed. This tune is NOT plug and play. It takes time and miles to figure it all out. This forumn has a lot of people willing to help. Good Luck.
