I would take it as a sign that no one I know of has one in their car unless its the SRT combo unit. Just my 2 cents

There is no such thing as a "Performance Chip" for any Toyota or Lexus models. Toyota ECU's arent' designed with a ROM slot for upgrades. Whatever you come up with from searches are hocus pocus mods. For the record, no Toyota/Lexus ECU's have chip mods. Only piggyback systems like Dave mentioned... Apex S-AFC or etc.
