Try a throttle controller first. Sprint is good name and so is Weapon R. I've never heard of pivot and I would stay far away from generic ebay anything, especially electronics.

And honestly going to the 1zz throttle body should be one of the last mods you do. There are so many things that are better and easier to deal with before you make that swap. If you are looking for more responsiveness after the boost controller there are a few options. Since you said you have an automatic I'd try pulley's and lighter wheels and tires first after the booster.

I hate the Yaris throttle settings and I really should try a good booster, the blitz had a ton of settings so of course I missed it. At this point though not sure I want to spend the money.

I have a manual. If I had an automatic it wouldnt be much of an issue. I'm going to try the Weapon R! Although I feel like all the guts come out of the same chinese factory :-P

If I were to do another mod, it would probably be the rear sway bar. Although this thing's steering is so dull I'm not sure it would make a big difference in the fun to drive factor. For now I just want to make it easy to drive and comfortable, so I've gotten the arm rest.

Next will be the throttle controller and a seat belt extender (I feel like the seat belt chokes me due to the up-high and close to the steering wheel driving position) and maybe a lumbar cushion :)

Let us know if you get a throttle controller. I am interested to see if they work as well.
