no, its a waste of your money

just spend the money on stickers for performance parts

i hear HKS and NOS stickers give you about 5hp each

toyota ECU dont like receiving false data, i know a lot of people who tried it on their toyota and whatever the model was( turbo, N/A, supercharged, ect) and its just cause teh ecu to go in "safe" mode

Those chips are only a resistor well hidden with epoxy in a box....you know how much a resistor costs? 50 cents...they sell you that chip 50$. Dont ever buy that

A potato or poker chip serves more function.

Better luck with a K&N Filter than an E-Bay Chip.

Any way to detect if the ECU is in safe mode>? The prior owner put it on.

in fact you have better luck to touch things like timing rather than buy that!

So your "friends" didn't tell you how they know it was in limp mode? Its very very very simple. You won't be able to rev past a certain RPM (usually around the 3k) and you would (in some cases) get a CEL.... no machine needed.
