    Contrary to what some think, some days I think that the Prius has considerable potential as a sports car, not talking about the track lap times, but of emotions. The electric motor can give a big boost, but the delivery of power adjustment is much to be a family. For this reason I would ask here if someone gives me a hand to find a ECU upgrade kit to make quicker engine response (and not necessarily increase the power). Have you tested something? know any good companies?

    Thank you!

    It's interesting you mention engine response. The new european Prius models are tuned to have more aggressive response than the american and Japanese versions. I beleve there is something at Sigma Automotive for adjusting the pedal-to-throttle response.

    Thanks grey prius for your words,


    I installed on my 2007 Prius a Tom's LTS (Linear Throtole System), but once installed, does not work at all (as if there were not) and the UK supplier "Prolex-UK Lexus and Toyota tuning specialist" is unable to tell me what is wrong with this LTS .. some of you have installed this Tom's LTS on the Prius?

    thanks
