I think there is some misunderstanding. The process for tuning the ECU requires a device to pull the "stock tune" file off the ECU. That file is then sent to the tuner (in my case it is Procharger) and then the ECU is re-flashed with the same device with a modified file embedded with the new values for the tune.

HP Tuner makes the devices used to pull or read the stock tune file. I sent my ECU to them so they could pull that file and then send it to Procharger. They offer Tuning support (ability to read and reflash ECU's) not the tunes or maps themselves.

Magnusson had /has their own tool that accomplishes this task, but you are still required to send the file to Magnusson have their tuners edit it and then they send it back to you. I believe they are using HP Tuners tool now, but I may be incorrect about that.

All of this to say... HP Tuners were not successful in pulling that file. The next step for tuning for my build is on hold until a TSB is released from Toyota for the ECU, which will give tuners a door into reading and re-flashing ECU.
