Performance Chips / Programmers 08 Tacoma

2008 TOYOTA TACOMA SR5 PRERUNNER DBL CAB NO TOW PACKAGE (I ADDED THE HITCH)
1. Anyone know of a good performance chip?
2. Anyone know of a good programmer?


Please help me sort this all out. I know (very little actually) about how they work. I do know in Diesel applications they are proven and in some case by case with certain Manufacturers of gas engines the chips work.

I really need some help in determining what exactly I need to buy I have lost substantial money by the loss of my job and moving into Florida (lower wages here). So I need a real option for lowering my fuel bill in my Tacoma.

I know a combination of upgrades will also be needed IE exhaust , cold air intake etc. But I would like to think alot of the bang for my buck will be with a PERFORMANCE CHIP..


HELP ME PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE........ BE GENTLE IM A NOOB

 

buy a supercharger

 

URD MAF Calibrator

APR X-1

 

Jeez - give the guy a break.

If you are in a money crunch, forget everything and just use a light right foot.
The money you spend chasing a few added miles per gallon will take years to pay off as the return is VERY minimal. Diesals and gas are way differant; chips are a scam and the ones that work are really expensive.

If you are really in a bind park the truck and try public trans. That will cut your ins way down also.

 

Try adding a drop-in K+N air filter, and stay out of the throttle as much as you can.
Sorry, not much more you can do.

 

I am very conservative when driving any of my vechicles. I never lead foot it and my mileage is above average. I WANT BETTER

So if I were to spend good money is there a worth while performance chip or not?

URD MAF Calibrator <-------- What is this exactly a programmer?

Honestly K&N filters = entry level changes this much I know its more like a combination of many changes. Then you may see a bigger difference.

Kinda said as well as TOYOTA TACOMA sells in the US and NO-ONE makes a real performance chip worth a crap ??????

Let's assume I have tons of money for a top of line performance chip point me in the right direction.


DO THEY WORK OR NOT?

SOmeone said they will if you PAY enough..

 

The URD MAF calibrator DOES work. It is more affordable, and works by adjusting the fuel trim.

The APR X-1 is a complete systems controller, and WILL provide you more power, and more control over tuning.

Both of those units are proven.
