Scion ECM Reprogramming TSB (March 30, 2014) (April Fools)

ECM Reprogramming for Torque Calibration
S-SB-0041-14-ECM_Rerogramming.pdf


Credit to @husker741 for discovering this, and to @Bach415 for posting the ECU TSB.

According to @husker741's dealer, this TSB tune increases power to 225hp. That's approximately a 21whp increase overs stock. Also addresses torque dip. Wonder if this tune also fixed the DI seal detonation issue.

Admins, please add this TSB to sticky list.

Wow nice, from the wording of the TSB it's almost like a "dealership approved" tune to remove the torque dip.

Yeah, I may have to get over my incredibly intense phobia of dealership service departments, to allow them to touch my car to have this done...
