Performance chip?

lifeztream · 03-29-2010, 02:28 PM

Looks pretty cheap on ebay, but what does it exactly do? does it really adds horsepower and gain more MPG? try to look for some description on the chip and all the sayings are compliments so.. is there any cons? like illegal or damage to engine? Thank you!

Common Sense, you paid a lot for the car, do you really think all that "performance" comes that cheap and easily?

Flame suit means that people will be criticizing you for asking such a question. Those chips do nothing. Don't buy them. Ever.

Good, thanks guys.

Cuz the chip reminded me back the old days when playing Need for Speed: Underground where there is one thing call ECU chip among the upgrades you can do in the game. So i thought it was something like that....

But anywaz, I will never buy it, thank you all!
