Has any one tried the jet performance ecu upgrade. I just talked to a represenative of Jet and he told me i would get 16-20 hp to the wheels and 18-22 ftlbs of torque. Can anyone attest to this?

Jet is full of crap... don't waste your time or money.
Look at this site (this guy knows his stuff) about his Jet chip on his 4Runner:

The only motors that benefit significantly from just an ecu upgrade are diesels, and it's because with most modern diesels you can make big gains by simply dumping more fuel into the cylinders.
Walking Eagle said:That's crap - diesels are NOT the only engines to benefit from ecu upgrades. You can get dyno proven results from lots of engines - 50hp easy on a 1.8T Veedub. I don't have any experience with JET, but just cause this guy can't "feel" the difference means squat.

Critter said:I should have been more clear, normally aspirated gas motors get little to no benefit from a ecu upgrade. Supercharged and turbo motors can expierence some gains but nothing like a diesel in most circumstances.
Diesels recieved huge gains from adding nothing more than a new chip, read 100hp and 100 ft/lb toeque in many instances.
Adding a Jet chip to a land cruiser is a waste of money, I would be surprised if you got marginal gains even with a supercharger. Jet sucks.
