Does stage 1 work with Banks Intake system?

I’m thinking of getting your stage 1 then later upgrading the intake to Banks.

I got the original stage 1 update (spicy!) on May 17th and have been very happy with it. I have 24,500 on my '24 TRD OR and I'm guessing I've probably had the tune for seven or eight thousand miles. Just got the stage 1 update done this afternoon and although I've only driven ~25 miles it definitely seems solid.

If you had no plan to do a tune before this probably isn't going to change your mind but with the update to allow more spirited acceleration in first (and second?) gear, it's worth taking the time to do it if you already have the original tune.

Not for the hybrid yet?
The hybrid models do not have the limiter in place like the gas models.

Additionally, the trans tuning is revised for the hybrid models. When modeled, the issue we’re addressing in the gas model calibration isn’t a factor for the hybrid trucks.

Toyota seems to have made some intentional changes to make sure the hybrid models had all the factory calibration could offer to make a statement when shopping between hybrid or gas. - just my personal opinion of course.

Banks works without a tune, almost all intakes do. Short answer is yes.
We’ve not had our hands on that system yet, but knowing Banks I’d feel comfortable saying it’ll be just fine on our tune.

I think it's great that you guys are working on a turbo option for the truck, My question is has anyone looked into the downpipe? seems like a potential restriction. As seen on other cars/engines the gains coming from changing to a less restrictive downpipe seem to be good enough to look into it for our platform. I understand that the cat is attached to the downpipe but as a "off-road" use only modification it might be worth a look at.
