Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

...it's got a ... Slot. Guess we'll find out more soon*

 

Was there last fall on this.

 

Just got rid of this one.

 

Quick question, should I reset my values? I didn’t when I flashed...should I go back and do it?

 

I did for shiggles and giggles. Figured do a complete fresh start.

 

Some people swear by it. Some people have never done it (like myself). I wouldn’t worry about it unless you are experiencing a problem.

 

I swear by it, but only if you do it right before a long drive of 200 miles or more so the engine is running the entire time

 

Does anybody find that their mpgs tank on the first half of a city tank after a full tank road trip? This is comparing city to previous city experience. I tend to average 18.5 with 50/50 mixed. I did a two tank road trip, averaging 80mph and about 21.3 mpg. First half to the 'return to normal' tank was averaging about 15.7 mpg. I've experienced this more than once. It must be an OEM thing, since OVTune does no learning.

 

So... Maybe I should know what this is. But, what is it?

 

I noticed this also

A long time ago, Mat had mentioned that he would be developing an intake mod to remove the restrictive portion of the OEM intake. I'm going to assume this is that modification.

The stock intake is actually quite good, especially since it's already effectively a CAI. But there's a necked down restrictive portion.

 

So, did my normal drive into work, drives completely different, holds 6th on the interstate. I kept finding myself doing 72-73 in 6th, kept having to let up on the skinny pedal. No constant shifting between 5th & 6th and no 4th gear shifts. Well worth the money.

 

That sounds good to me! What tune are you on? Stock tires?

 

87 base, I am running Goodyear ultra terrain 265/75/16 p rated.

 

has anyone towed with the performance tune?
tried 87 base, 91 base, and 91 performance

holy crap! im sticking with 91 performance - but when i tow , should i go back to base? lol

 

I’m tow/hauling roughly 8900# combined weight with 87 performance, gearlock. 0 complaints, 0 issues. Gearlock is a performance tune so I don’t see a problem using any @OVTune perf tune to tow.

 

I think I'm about to lose my mind. But I think I've spent the last 2 weeks refreshing my email hoping that OVTune will send me my registration key or even a response. Just have to keep reminding myself that he just had a newborn and it's just bad timing on my end and that I should have purchased it sooner

 

I've sent PMs, thread posts and repeated emails. It's been 15 days and nothing has been responded to.

I really need to get this resolved please, as soon as someone has time to give me a call. Understand you're busy, but I'm out $700 here without anything to show for it. Even a responsive email would make me feel better while I wait.

 

I've sent it to my dev, as soon as he provides the fixed key I will email it to you
