Can anyone confirm there is a new supercharger reflash available from TRD for the car? Im assuming the car runs different after the reflash? Can anyone comment that has experience? Is the 9.5 pulley still safe to use or no?

 

Never heard of this ... your flash unit thingy is what it is. Have them reflash your ecu (assuming the cost is null) and if the A/F is off have it reflashed with the original flash unit thingy.

...wish I could remember what the flash unit thingy was called. lol.

 

The ECM thing-a-majig.....

Software Module!

 

^ thats it! lol.

 

I remember someone making a thread about how they went to the dealer, and they did an update of the reflash. Car ran better according to them....

 

Yeah thats who I was actually hoping to hear from. lol

 

far as i know it only been me thats had this.

but yea, i had been going in and out of the dealer to fix my pulleys and heat shields and rattles and replace my cat. and at the one point when they were diagnosing out my CEL and such they made notice of an updated reflash available and re-reflashed my ECU with it.

car runs way different after, better different too and no more issues so far.

i am an automatic so it may have been a TRD adjustment of the automatic 2nd reflash.

 

What do you mean when you say way better?

 

like it runs better then it did before. and the dead travel in the pedal is also completely gone now.
i only have my senses to gauge things though so i cant say acurately this or that by such and such amount.
the lower end pulls a lot more then it used to and seems a little more powerful all around.
i was told they got rid of the dead travel for the o8s also but the new 08 they had me in while in for service had just as bad dead space in it as ever, if not more so.

 

I see, hopefully toyota will be reflashing this thing shortly here...
