where can i buy a performance chip for xb? do they exist?

 

ebay, but i doubt any of them work

 

no free lunches with those things... generally get what you pay for

 

dont even waste your time w/ one of those cheap modules. It doesnt do anything but trick your car into thinking the air its taking in is cooler. Bad for the motor

 

I don't believe one exist at this time. Do not get one off ebay you'll regret it.

 

when will a chip be out. will it work with a sc or something.

 

Jet Performance can modify your computer for $399.00. You have to send them the computer. They say it takes about 4 days there and back and that average gains are about 8hp.

I'm thinking about doing it on the xA.

What about those handheld programmers I've seen on the various Spike TV shows?

 

8hp average on our cars? or on cars in general ?

 

8 hp on our cars. Send them an e-mail. They have the address on their web site. They'll answer any questions you have. They were very responsive to me.

ecu that only adds 8.... that doesn't seem worth it.

 

It's a scion..Not to sound condoscending but I don't think that the toyota marketers tried to market the xb/xa as a "fast" car, nor a car that could be modified into one. What they did market it is as a "customizable car" for all demographics to enjoy which has the benefits of an econo-car and low maintanence vehicle. This being said it is still not surprising that people try to modify our 1.5 108 hp engines to try and compete even against non-tuned civics, simply because a lot of these people seem to regret buying the car with the intension of being a tuner. With THIS being said, there are the few genuine people who modify it for gains that should have been there in the first place, i.e. a little more pep through a SRI or CAI.. unlike modifying it with a RACING CHIP.
