do any of you tune your own cars? if so, what kind of computer and os do you use, or what kind of computer and os would you recommend for tuning on a professional level?

As far as I know... you can't overwrite stuff on Toyota ECU's, unlike Hondas. You'd need a whole stand-alone engine management system to be able to tune it yourself using a laptop or something.
Of course, I don't know much on this subject, but hopefully someone will elaborate and confirm whether I was right or not.
EDIT- puredrifter beat me to it as well...

well, see, that's the thing....i'm not asking for myself. i'm asking for my boyfriend. he does his own motor swapping, repairs, etc. and he's the one who's going to tune his cars. he was wondering what kind of computers would be reliable for that job.
