Having Toyota designed heads, odds are this thing will come with a Toyota management unit. Anyone who has ever tuned a yota will tell you; these things age pretty much f'ing un-crackable. It has been the bane of Toyota tuners or decades, and continues to be so. Maybe Toyota will give us a break and make an easy to work with solution. Maybe not and aftermarket standalone makers will send valentines cards to Toyota for re-invigorating their business. Maybe they will just modify a Subaru unit. or Maybe, this will be the car that ecu tuners everywhere set to work on and finally crack Toyota's God-damned code. Toyota/Lexus tuners every where would rejoice, singing praises... lol
Yeah, I heard that Toyota's ECU is pain to re-map... but Subaru's ECU is pain too (not as much as Toyota). I think, only forgiving ECU were '04 STI. Rest are just nightmare. That's why I made ISpeed re-map mine ECU.
