    Does anyone have experience with the PCR Toyota Performance Chip - does it work, is it 100% ok for the vehicle, and how difficult is it to install. I don't necessarily trust their site! Thanks!

    I dunno about PCR (and I'm relatively new to the 4Runner scene), but Youtube "4runner dyno". An outfit called Vivid Racing has an ECM reflash that claims to give you up to 30hp. Reviews by customers seems to be nothing less than stellar. I'm going for it on my truck with less than 1000 miles.

    Thanks for the info. I am very new to the 4Runner world (142miles) so I appreciate all the help I can get. Let me know how the ECM flash works for you. I love my new 4Runner but I won’t be mad at it if it gets just a touch more responsive!

    From what I've read in countless posts, no chip will work. Intakes and exhaust (I've had both) make noise and no noticeable HP gains.
    Sprint booster and Pedal commander (I've got SB) will give zero HP gains but throttle response will blow you away (when installed right or turned on) some have not figured that part out.
    If money is no issue go fora super charger

    The YouTube sure looks legit, but I don’t know how you’d find out unless you try it. I suppose as much as anything, I may actually be looking for throttle response, however. I actually have no concept of a Sprint Booster. I’ll google that to see if I can get that to make sense to me. Thanks!

    Let us know how that goes for you. 1000s on the other forum will be amazed if it works

    Here's magneson that gets 83 hp for 6+ grand. If that works for a couple hundred it would be ....or should be widely known

    If my warranty wouldn't be compromised, I'd drop the $8k CAN in a second. But unfortunately, TRD no longer offers superchargers and therefore I's shit outta luck...
