2) One of the inputs controlling lean burn on a Honda Insight is the TPS signal. The "TPS mod" fools the computer into thinking that the driver's foot on the accelerator is very steady, hence allowing easier entry into, and a longer stay in, lean burn. It makes the lean burn window wider.

There are several TPS mods for the Insight, but what is being referred to is the latest TPS mod by Matt of Hybrid Revolt. I don't know if that mod will work for other cars though.
