Default tC computer chip

Has anyone changed the computer chip (which increases hp) on your tC? Just wondering if they are available and where to buy them!

I think I saw something posted about a unichip brand or something but I would wait for a more reputable company...

we are currently offerign e-manage and Apexi s-afc for the scion. We have seen a average of 9hp and 12ft pounds on the dyno on other wise stock cars. The scions tend to run rich up top. These are piggy backs and not a chip thus not altering the stock functions windows, cruise, top speed limiter.

Thanks

Those products are all currently available. They're "piggy-backs" that will fit on most modern cars.

I've heard that the e-manage doesn't work well on OBDII vehicles.

throwing #'s out about the ECU's and stuff is very misleading...

aftermarkte ECU's help expand the HP/TQ gain of all aftermarket parts. thus installing the new ECU really doesnt give you 5hp or 9tq as stated.

for example: (just throwing numbers)
K&N intake = 5 hp
K&N intake w/ new ECU = 8 hp

magnaflow exhaust = 5hp
magnaflow exhaust w/ ECU = 10hp


no offense to anyone, just wanted to make it clear to those power hungry people and thinkin that just putting stuff on your car will give out what is stated isnt always true

for me to buy one, it'd have to get rid of that 127 mph limit.
