The only chips you are going to find are on ebay and they are all scams.
Toyota builds these motors so that they are already optimized.
Best way to add inexpensive power is a cai (K&N), header (Strup) and exhaust (Strup..........soon for the xA).

yeah don't buy the ebay chips, from what i've heard they're just small resistors that fool the motor into thinking it's getting cooler air, so it dumps more fuel in, so it will probably kill your gas mileage while not letting the motor run to its full potential

If you buy one of those chips you better make sure you buy the blinker fluid to so they won't over heat!

yeah! and get one of those e-superchargers to boot! those things give you like a 20% gain! heck, why not use a hairdryer and call it a turbo?!

haha... j/k

honestly though, it would be great to see somebody crack the ecu so we can actually tune w/o having to get a standalone engine computer. unfortunately all those ebay sales have nothing to offer you other than a piece of junk.
