Congrats on the conversion! I've been wanting to know if this is possible and I'm glad to see now that it is. Can't wait for pics and vids.

I'm most likely going to sell mine. I very close to a Stage 1 setup with ZPI, I just want to do the small block option too.

The TRD reflash in irreversible. This is straight from TRD. The toyota ECU lacks the ability to be flashed backed,

If someone told you they flashed it back this incorrect. We have been working with TRD in an effore to resolve this with minimal success. The original design from TRD stated the ECU could be reflashed back to stock once. The final product lacked this option. If you have any other questions I would call Bob@TRD

If you had to go back to stock... you would either had to get another ECU and have that programed to your car OR actually turn the TRD map for NA...

Just talked to Bob @TRD (thanks for the reference ZPI) and he stated to me that re-flash or not ,as long as you have a piggyback that you can re-map the TRD reflash that was on the ECU. Now from to my understanding the reflash back to stock is something Bob@TRD is gonna look into for us and get back with me on.

You heading to the local meet at the raceway this Friday? I think I have about 4 turbo tCs going, 1 SC, and a few xBs. Let me know!

Dyno comp is the place to have it tuned, he has done several already and should be a snap. You will be very happy with the results after the tune if you think it runs OK now.

Well, another dyno "bad news" post. Took the journey to Dyno Comp and was hit with some news that, well, sucked. The Unichip software they have is not updated so they decided to tell me this after I got there...So back and forth for nothing, and have to wait till after the SEMA show for them to work on my car now

So there goes the track, but I will keep everyone posted, hopefully I can get everything done sooner!

They said it would take 3 days for part to come in, however due to the SEMA show, mech @ DynoComp said 2 weeks. In the words of Bon Jovi... "Shot through th Heart..."
