I keep telling myself this isn't possible... But I get excited every time one of these threads pops up.

interested to hear what they did as well in terms of re-flashing, communicating with the ECU, disassembly of the ECU image, and just not bricking the ECU

I doubt they are changing anything in the ECM. More than likely they're intercepting the CAN traffic and feeding the ECM information to force it to react differently. Still haven't heard of anyone reflashing a US ECM on any Scion/Toyota/Lexus running Toyota engine management software.

So a piggy back?

I would agree that there is no flashing happening.

I remember another thread you were saying the same thing back in April 2013 and nothing ever happened. Hopefully it's a different result this time around.

Ecu tuning threads are like husbands who beat their wives and all of us are the beaten wives who always take them back. Don't bother closing this thread cause it will just resurface in 4 months like a truck driver's hemorrhoid

I just talked to Omar. He said the cars coming in tomorrow for final testing and adjustments. I'm assuming it's Davids car. So I guess we will finally find out some results. He said pricing will be soon to follow. Let's hope for the best here guys.

David do you have I/H/E? I have I/E. Curious to see all the numbers that come out of the 3 different setups.
