I've always wondered why someone didn't offer an aftermarket ECU that did this... 2 or 3 different settings available with the flip of a switch. It couldn't be that hard to make, could it???

I've seen a company that sells that MAF resistor mod that had a switch for different settings, but you had to turn the car off before you flipped the switch or it would throw a CEL.

People need to realize that there isn't much more power in these cars as they come off the lot. The manufacturer wouldn't leave too much on the table in a sector where people are deciding on a Fit over a Yaris because of it's 109 hp compared to 106...

There is power to be had if you want to void every level of your warranty and rebuild / turbo, etc...
