Q. What is Overland Tailor Tuning - OTT?

OTT offers custom engine and transmission performance tunes for select Toyota & Lexus vehicles. Please refer to the "Pricing & Availability" for additional details.

Q. How long does a tune take?

A naturally aspirated (NA) tune itself takes under 15 minutes. Plan for 30 minutes which will include completing any updates and discussing all tuning options in detail. Supercharged setups usually take 1-1.5 hours.

Q. Will a tune increase your miles per gallon (MPGs)

Many variables effect MPGs, from driving style, driving condition, health of vehicle, gas quality and more. On average most customers report breaking even, or even gaining a small amount which is a fair trade off considering the performance gained from the tune.

Q. What are my tuning options?

In most cases we offer different level of aggression/response tunes to meet everyone's needs. Generally they are Lite, Mild, Medium, Spicy and Super Spicy. Third gen automatic Tacomas have an ECT PWR (Tundras Tow/Haul) button which can be used as a secondary tune. So for example, Mild as your main tune, and medium when the Tow Haul/ECT PWR in engaged, hence the Mild/Medium.

Q. How much does a tune cost?

Please refer to "Pricing & Availability" for additional details.

Q. Will OTT turn off any active codes?

Under no circumstances will we (or OTT) bypass, override or turn off any codes. It is illegal in all 50 states even if your state does not have emissions testing. Your vehicle should be in 100% working order with up to date maintenance prior to getting a tune. We will not tune trucks with missing, deleted or altered emissions equipment. We comply with all emissions regulations, EPA and local laws. No exceptions.
