Cool mods you'd like to see on your Scion?
Working with a company looking to make aftermarket electrical products for Scion. We have a ton of experience designing ECUs for major automakers and are looking to use that knowledge in our next product. We'd love to hear your ideas on what kind of features (data logging, performance measurement, tuning) you'd like to see in an electronics product for your Scion. Some ideas we're toying around with are an LCD screen which can be customized to show performance data, or a chip that could enhance the power of your car. Any thoughts?

Humm
a LCD that can be used in place of extra gages, performance measurement, and double as a GPS... (I can dream no???)
Power chip
a Carputer kit would be nice... a "plug & play" kit I think may sell well, and with most of the parts already in the market, all you may need is some custom softwere...

yea, carputer would take the place of the on screen gauges and what not, and a chip would be nice. i asked jet if they'd make one for the scions a while back, they said nothing planed for the scion line. i don't think there's one cmpany that makes it yet. i'd buy it

A shift kit for the autos.
An LCD screen to show odometer, rpm, oil pressure and temp, water temp, boost/vacuum, miles per hour, miles per gallon, and nitrous pressure.
It's not hard to do, i've helped do it once.

which would you choose?
If you were to choose only one, would you prefer:
Chip to add 20 hp
Supercharger to add 50 hp to Scion engine
LCD screen to show readouts
Chip that would send car performance data (speed, fuel consumption, etc.) to a website that you can access, or downloaded to handheld
