I have been looking into buying one of these chips, but i want to see if anyone has one or knows anything about them. FEEDBACK PLEASE

Waste of money and not a good idea even if it was free.

Those "chips" work with all virtually all makes and models because they merely lie to the ECU about the environmental conditions, advancing ignition spark and running a bit lean. The gains are minimal and borderline dangerous.

You're better off with a real tune.

Give JB1 a try and you wont look back.

yea especially something with a knob. call it the death switch instead.

Mighty Car Mods did a pretty good video mythbusting these things last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGtImIP6j3A

Forum members have more history with other options.
If you want these results I would go Neuspeed. If you want more then an APR or other tune listed in the forum.

thank you all. i'm new to the import tune world. this is my first tuner. thanks for the advice, i'm trying to put together a build sheet. so far i'm set on getting a ingenue cold air intake, not to sure what kind of intercooler and exhaust yet.

Do yourself a favor and wait on the intake/exhaust. You'll get a much bigger immediate gain from a Stage 1 tune such as those from APR, Unitronic, etc. Pure electronic modification will net you far more power on a newer turbo car than slightly opening up your airflow.
