Tony, you make reference to the dedicated tools via OBD to flash/read/write the ECU. What do you mean by dedicated??.. Is it MVCI as usually used with Techstream for Toyota/Lexus or it is something like Ecutek or Alientech?? Thank your job. I follow with interest the development and may be will do the ECU/TECU flash.

I will not disclose the name of the tools, but the process is pretty simple. Once payment (tune cost and tools deposit) is made Tony will email you the drivers for the ECU writing program and OBD to USB cable. The tools ( OBD port connector and license dongle) will then be shipped to you. Once tools are received you will then read the stock tune file and email it to Tony where he will make changes to the parameters for the stage 1 or 2 tune and then have it emailed back to you within a few hours. The next step will be to write the tuned file into the ECU and let the fun begin! Once the tools are returned your tool deposit will be refunded.

Tony will take your ECU's stock file and modify it for Stage 1 or 2. Take a look at VW/Audi reflash like APR and Unitronic which are both universal tunes. If you are looking for fine tuning then you will need a tuner with license access to the program and they can adjust on the street or dyno, but I think that TTI did enough R&D on their product and it works just fine!

Turbo upgrade and E85 is the where I hope we get to. Even upgrading the internals of the turbo so they remain OEM to the naked eye would be nice. Technically if we can custom tune with the TTI we should be able to modify the car any way we want and have a tuning solution.

Yea the 8AR-FTS motor is still new to the market so hopefully we start seeing more aftermarket performance mods. The market for an upgraded turbo is a long way off since it has a unique design where it bolts on to the head and does not have an exhaust manifold, but with bolt ons and tuning (E85 maybe) we should be able to squeeze some power from this platform. TTI has developed the stage 1 tune which is safe for the stock motor and stage 2 which will require intake/down pipe for a better breathing turbo.
