Default Performance chip

Has anybody found a good performance chip for an 04 scion xB? I can't find any near where I live and I was wondering if it exists.... Oh, and my scion is automatic... -.- lol

I don't think you're ever going to do any better than 500 HP and 100 MPG...

(side note: is it just me or are these claims getting more and more ridiculous?)

Well jokes aside, there really is no legit "chip" for any Scion that I'm aware of. You could find something like a Unichip maybe (not sure if they work for xB) but you'd only see any gain if you already had a few bolt-ons first and then had it properly tuned.

there's no such thing as a performance chip you can easily plug in and expect more power. they are gimmicks designed to take advantage of ignorant people to spend money on..

to get more power, you're gonna have to spend some money on bolt-ons and the such... and even so, the improvements are just only so much.

Yeah, I have just installed my cold air intake, and I'm looking at the greddy supercharge.... But I thought that there could be a chip that existed but I guess not

Don't know of any chips, but if you are willing to shell out a few hundred bucks Power Enterprises makes a 'Piggyback' for Scions. http://www.powerenterpriseusa.net/pr...con/camcon.htm


They make very high quality products. I am planning on getting this when the funds permit.

For the best bang/buck... change out the i/h/e. Any more than that and your cost is going to go up.
