Default LC 500 tune

Does anyone have any information about anyone working on any tunes for the LC500?
My Headers sound amazing but my engine lights are now coming on and turns off cruise control

Been waiting since January 2018. I've gotten the run around from Boost Logic for over a year now with mixed stories that they are working on it, they cracked the ECU, they didn't even start on the ECU, their SC intake manifold was done, then it wasn't etc. etc.. I have contacted several tuners around the U.S. and no one is even remotely trying to do it for us. Your CEL is probably coming on due to the O2 sensor needing to be adjusted either slightly in or out. PPE Engineering was able to adjust mine after getting the CEL as well and I have been fine since.

You can always count on Zeitaku for feedback regarding mods! Respect - especially for still looking and trying to find a company hashing out a SC. Thanks Zeitaku!

Default ECU location

Does anyone know where the ECU is on our cars and how to remove it?
I’m sending my ECU in to OV Tune to get it unlocked so I can get it remotely tuned by Tuned by Loi.

Nevermind. I found the ECU and took it out.

New problem now though. How do I access the trunk after removing the battery terminal. Is there a manual release for it anywhere inside the car?

Mine will be an e85 tune. Loi also has a 91oct and 93oct tune as well. I’ll do a before and after dyno soon for some solid numbers.
So far he has shared that it will increase throttle response, torque, and power.

Exciting! Any chance you took a dyno reading pre-tune? I'd love to see the difference before/after.
