Ya I really wouldn't waste your money on any of those... from what I've heard on pretty much every Lexus message board the ECU for our cars has yet to be cracked so unless you do some bolt ons (exhaust, headers, air intake, etc) you're not going to get much more bhp than stock.
Shoulda bought the BMW 335 if you want a quick chip fix.

yeah 220d, hm, but most say chips dont work. Im pretty confused. There has to be a way! either i buy a use ISF in about 6 months, or I buy an ISF engine and fit it to my car ( I dont think thats possible! ) I must admit, this is my first car, im a young driver! i love it

Hi Avi,
Don't believe the ebay hype. As everyone has mentioned previously, there has never been a chip upgrade or ecu remap for any Toyota/Lexus vehicle to date. Toyota ECUs are encrypted very well and no one has ever broken its code. There are many sources that have claimed they have but they never have produced real results. There are piggybacks out there....but those are bandaid solutions that don't work.
Good luck!
