YotaWerx Tuning

What is a Tune?

A tune is a rewrite of your vehicle’s Engine Control Unit (ECU).  Using state-of-the-art computer software, a flash cable, and proprietary tuning files catered to your vehicle’s specs, we can modify the contents of the data on your vehicle’s computer.  

Why does your Toyota need tuning?

Simply put, because you can get more out of your vehicle!  The Toyota vehicles we tune all suffer from varying degrees of frustrating shifting (often described as “gear hunting”), lack of power, and terrible throttle response.  These three issues alone are, at a minimum, enough to make your daily driving frustrating.  In some cases, it’s enough to make you want to sell the vehicle outright.  Don’t give up on your Toyota!  It’s one of the most reliable vehicles on the road, and we can help give it the excellent drivability you always wanted (and expected).   

Why YotaWerx?

Experience.  Formed in June of 2020, YotaWerx Tuning (YWT) is a partnership of Toyota enthusiasts based out of El Paso, TX.  They were one of the first companies to offer flash services of the OrangeVirus (OV) tune.  As OV (now vF Tuner) transitioned the company away from building tunes to focusing on creating industry-leading software, this paved the way for YWT to build its own enhanced, branded tunes.  They started off by creating one of the best (if not THE best during its time) manual transmission tunes for the 3rd Generation Tacoma 3.5L, which they named Coyoza.  This was so popular that it was sold off to a competitor and today, YWT offers its flagship YotaWerx tunes in various flavors: Active Duty, Weekend Warrior, and Stryker.  These tunes are meant to provide a strong, smooth driving experience without compromising superior drivability and reliability.  We know that there are multiple “other” branded tunes on the market.  YWT may not be the loudest, but they separate themselves from the rest with a commitment to customer support across their network and are quietly building an army of customers who stand by the quality and effectiveness of YotaWerx tunes. 

Tune Driving Styles [NON SUPERCHARGED]

• Weekend Warrior is "generally" more conservative and intended for stock or close to stock trucks and/or more casual and relaxed drivers/driving styles.
• The WW tune versions also tend to offer a bit easier throttle control for some people in technical off-road scenarios, although there are those who feel the AD version suits them well.
• Active Duty is "generally" the opposite, for more aggressive drivers and/or heavily modified vehicles with significant additional weight.

• Obviously not everyone fits into these categories perfectly, some may prefer a tune that caters to a driving style that you otherwise may not expect
• WW vs AD is usually a throttle response difference but sometimes incorporates shift logic differences, depending on vehicle.
• All tunes can be configured to run with either regular or premium fuel.

Tune Driving Styles [SUPERCHARGED]

• Stryker is a more relaxed throttle response compared to Stryker +
• Stryker vs Stryker+ follows the same general theme as Weekend Warrior vs. Active Duty.
