Tire rack has a fitment guide where it only shows wheels that they have test fitted and confirm to fit. Hopefully those were shown for your vehicle. This guy put -12 offset wheels on his 4Runner...

The odds are that you won’t have issues with the OTT tune but just like my buddy with the stock X6M50, if you happen to get the one vehicle with a bad piston rod and it lets loose while you are pulling into your work parking spot, it will end up an expensive bill for you because it was modified...

I have a friend with a leased X6M50 who put a rod through the block. Now that’s an oil leak. I had a 2008 335 with multiple oil leaks the worst at the oil filter housing gasket and and next was valve cover.

Classic BMW issue is also an oil leak🤣

Have the other tunes on the Toyotas been turbos ? I know Supra were but that was long before they started checking for these and it was uncommon then. At least you know of the Audi issues - same with VW and BMW

That’s exactly what the Audi guys said before they had drivetrain issues and their drivetrain warranty (only drivetrain) was voided. If you are ok with the risk , it’s perfect. If you expect warranty coverage for in warranty drivetrain issues then you could very well be disappointed and have a...

That’s how it started out with Audi and then they started seeing drivetrain issues and they began scanning the ECU for tuning. Now any time you take your Audi in for service it gets scanned for tunes and reported and flagged. This is the infancy stage of Toyota tunes. They will catch you if you...

In my series of one, I had an Audi RS7 that I APR tuned. I didn’t have problems but I knew that my drivetrain warranty was toast if I had problems. https://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/196139-warranty-101-warranty-you-td1-recalls-updates-magnuson-moss-etc.html

That’s perfectly fine as long as you realize the risks. Blow a turbo on a tuned vehicle and it is on your dime ,etc

Yes tuning the ECU and TCU will void your drivetrain warranty if you happen to have drivetrain issues within warranty and Toyota discovers the ECU and TCU were messed with. I’ve watched this within BMW and Audi forums and they always start out saying that their tune is undetectable and then...

The wheels, grilles and the front and back areas under the bumpers are the same as the platinum except silver/ chrome so I’d personally just hyper dip / plastidip all those parts to shiny black. You could powder coat the wheels if you want it more permanent.

No, you have changed the shift handle. You have not done anything to the transmission. An ECU or TCU modification would cause you issues if you had motor or transmission problems.

I bought a Limited because there were no Platinums available and I wanted a light interior so the blue was iffy. The wheels are the same other than the Planinum’s being gloss black which can be “fixed” with hyperdip or powder coating. The grille and bumper areas can be hyperdipped as well. The...

I sure hope that OTT chimes in about the detectabolity of their tunes. @JustDSM

You can tune a piano but you can’t tune a fish?

It is undetectable until they detect it. Flashes are discoverable, no way around it. If you blow a turbo or piston or break a piston rod and you are delivering more boost than the factory ECU tune calls for, do you think that the Toyota warranty will cover it??

That is the same thing they said about the Audi, VW and BMW tunes until the manufacturers caught on and they began scanning for ecu flash count and things like boost requested and boost applied. They also said you could flash back to stock and be undetectable but it didn’t pan out when people...

Audi can even detect how many times the ECU was flashed so even if you flash back to stock ecu tune, they know that the ECU has been manipulated with. Then they can dig deeper to detect changes in settings like turbo boost etc...

If you look at the Audi, VW and BMW forums, there are several people who have had engine component warranty voided due to tuned ECUs. Audi scans and will label your car TD1 if it detects ECU manipulation. They can detect if you are running more turbo boost than the factory ECU calls for. There...
