Chip swap... Opinions/suggestions
What up YW. I've got an 07 yaris sedan. (automatic) and looking to put some bigger balls on this bad boy.
I've seen some chips go for pretty cheap saying up to 30 more hp and better fuel efficiency. What do you guys think? Thanks. |

All "chips" are bogus and rip offs. They are like someone offering you Pacific Ocean beach front property in Quebec.
The Yaris ECU is a learning ECU and is locked. To this day there really hasn't been anyone that we know of that has successfully cracked it. Even so if they did there is no way that the 1nz mill will be able to produce more power and better fuel economy together stock.

Could not agree more. Don't waste your money on cheap "performance" chips. They have an (almost) proven track record of being a simple colour LED circuit that does absolutely nothing for you.
Just do a quick youtube search on performance chips mythbusted, and you'll see what I mean.
