    VF Tuner ECU/TCU Tuning for the GX550

    lol no worries, I’m sure most of us had to change underpants at least once when going through with the flashing session. VF will get you straight though.

    VF Tuner ECU/TCU Tuning for the GX550

    haha it can be addictive, my mpg is now in the 11’s and my heavy foot is to blame. Just know until engine is fully warmed up, boost is limited to about 8psi. I was surprised that it felt like stock initially after the flash, but after some more driving the power just came out from no where.

    VF Tuner ECU/TCU Tuning for the GX550

    Flashed the updated 91 octane today and felt another boost in power. Sports or tow/haul mode is so responsive and effortless to accelerate and cruise. Really glad VF updated the low end torque as this is where these vehicles are mostly used. I can’t imagine needing anymore power than this so...

    Excited to get the new tunes flashed. Are we expecting the new tune files to be emailed to us at some time today? Will you be publishing the new dyno graphs?

    Were the dyno tuning done under the Tundra platform? Interested to see the dyno gains on the gx550 with it being 4WD.

    VF Tuner ECU/TCU Tuning for the GX550

    The vehicle’s CAN connector has a black cap that is secured to the frame using the white plastic clip. Since there is limited room to work with, I left everything intact to allow the white clip to hold the CAN connector firm in place. I then bent up the small tab that holds the connector to the...

    VF Tuner ECU/TCU Tuning for the GX550

    I flashed the 91 octane with v2 TCU today. After flashing completed, dash appeared check engine light from TCU lost communication with ECM error. Used my obdii reader and cleared the codes and everything is good. Could also use VF tuner to clear the code but I was not yet familiar with using the...
