    Am thinking of getting the Magnusson supercharger. I'd be very interested in this (not sure if Toyota will flash the ECU for a non TRD labeled supercharger)

    Yaaaaaas!! Wish I could help more with the Boosted application. Hoping it will play nice with all the other performance modifications as well. (header's/exhaust, smaller pulley, shift kit, etc).

    And good to know about the TC tune.. have one of them in the garage too. Got any of them buy one get one half off deals? Haha.

    @OVTune
    I know you're slammed buddy, but I was curious if the 4.0's have that same throttle issue as the 3.5's, in regards that it's not open 100% until almost redline, even though you've got it floored.

    Not really, the code is different. It is possible to get limited throttle but not on a stock vehicle.

    Lets see if we can get a STOCK and TRD supercharged truck on the dyno this november?

    Does this tuner have the option to write out the secondary air pump that was introduced in '12 and up models? Since it's a common point of failure for marginal emissions improvements it would be nice to do away with it without throwing a code, or limp mode.

    I've got a stock truck that I want to supercharge very soon if you'd like to compare with everything being the same.

    I’d buy it for this alone, mine is intermittently throwing the codes. I don’t get limp mode which is nice, but still annoying that the pumps failing.

    we have control over all DTC


    Alright guys I'm ready to get the ball rolling on these 4.0Ls.

    we want to get every available ECU version prepared for support throughout november.
    I will be offering a special deal for people who want the handheld tuner and are willing to send us their ECU (if not in our ROM database) so that support can be added. We only need the ECU for one day and can overnight return it.

    We are looking to support the metal case and black box ECUs.

    So you can delete the code, but I wonder if those who are getting limp mode because of it will no longer go into limp mode. It would be nice to delete the code and just get block off plates to never worry about it again. There are a lot of people with this issue so if you explore it more I garuntee you’d see more sales from it.
