    After looking at it I'm starting to wonder if they DIY one is too much for me. @OVTune .. a little help in selection? Count me in for one for aure, but I don't know which one would suit me best.

    Supercharged 2.5 pulley Tacoma here. Considering possibly chasing the avenue of a 2.3 pulley on the setup.

    I guess it has really been like 30 days, as that's how long ago that I stumbled across the 3rd gen tuner page.

    Damn you.. I was waiting for you. Hahaha. I haven't ordered yet either. Still undecided but heavily leaning towards the diy kit. Beginner Tune.

    Just need to call.. but need time to call. :(

    Buy the DIY, you can upgrade at anytime to tuner or pro level later on depending on your needs. Purchased Tuner level last night. Find a shop though that's willing to help. Some shops are just dyno dumps, some actually tune.

    That's my problem, too.
    The only couple places that I can find are $150+ per hour.
    Not sure how much more I'd gain by going that route, as opposed to just the handheld, preloaded tuner.
    So I only ordered the handheld.

    Lets say it ends up costing 200 to dyno tune. + the extra cost vs handheld

    Id way rather spend that on the 320 fuel pump and maybe coolant pump for intercooler and expansion tank and the quickchange pulley system

    Haha I already sold my soul to this truck. If it only helps people a little bit to dyno tune, id rather just get the handheld and be teeny tiny bit slower

    Or weld and bolt a snail in like I plan to in the very near future, being able to tune myself is a must. But we all have different needs.
