Volo VP12 Performance Chip/Power Programmer for 2010 Lexus RX350 3.5L

Any thoughts?

More power and better MPG never work together. However, there is this voltage stabilizer I put on my 08 M3 and somehow, it does give me 5 - 8% increase on my MPG. I was doing 6km/l and now 6.5km/l. Plus it's not too expensive to try out. I might get one for my rx too.

I agree with py0413.
I have the volt stabilizer from Pivot Japan on my IS350.
The response is a bit better and the fuel economy improved somewhat.
I wouldn't say it added alot of horsepower, probably between 1-3hp at the most.

I just ordered a Pivot Ground kit and Volt stabilizer for my RX350, which is a cost effective accessory that costs less than $60.

I also added a T1R (TypeOne Racing) magnetic drain bolt for the engine. This is designed to suck and grab onto the metal shavings that is in the engine. With friction between moving engine parts, it is inevitable that there will be some amount of metal deposits. It is harmful to leave those metal deposits in the engine and this magnetic bolt holds onto them, which can be cleaned with a cloth everytime you do an oil change.
I picked up it for $20 from AJ Racing and I think this is a decent mod for maintenance purposes and extra bling under the RX.

I should be getting the throttle controller for the RX350 soon, as soon as I find out what wiring harness is used for the 0BD2 socket.
