It'll work for 5 minutes until the ECU learns to adjust, and essentially waste $15 out of your pocket, at best.

You get what you pay for. What is it that you done to the engine that requires a ROM tune? Your ECU in stock form will work fine with most bolt-ons. If you wish to "fine tune" get a piggy back and tune it with a wideband or better yet take it to a Dyno.

The emblem will give you more power than the mod.

You can make that for a quarter at radioshack you know... It's a resistor.

Slap a Chinotake into that puppy! That should throw you a few ponies down the wheel

I got one before I even knew about YarisWorld. It works fine for a while, but after a few days the responsiveness I felt was gone, just like Thomas said.

Honestly, I think it's not a bad little thing to have for those days when you need a little more "oomph". But as a suggestion, I would take it off after a few days, or you (and your car) will just get accustomed to it.
