Does anyone make a CHIP or Power programmer for the xB. I think this would free up some hidden HP in the 1.5 VVTI. Any help would be appreciated much!
You know, I've actually been thinking about this......which unfortunately doesn't get me very far cause I know jack about ECUs. But I'm just thinking that our ECUs are probably tuned for mileage and emissions. We probably don't want to give those things up.....I know I don't...........but I'd love to be able to free up some hidden ponies "on demand". So I'm wondering, are there ways to i guess "hack" the ecu.......and have multiple ecu maps (is that even the right term?) that could be changed say........by the push of a button? That way we could say "screw emissions and mileage" when we just want to go ***** to the wall.......but keep it "stock" for our normal every day driving.
Like I said.......I don't know anything about this stuff, so I apologize to all those that DO know about this stuff and are thinking....

Yea, I wonder if the xB is on any of the companies radar that make reprogrammers. Or something you could plug in to bypass the ECU just to go fast once in a while??
