What kind of chip is this that you got? Im just curious.

that is a link to the chip. I can fill a differece, I think that it is called the "n-chip"

hahaa man they are going to flame you bad,you should search on here and read about those "chips" in a million other threads.you can buy them at radio shack for like .20,welcome to AF but searching before starting a thread is important,good luck. later



ps.i just saw that you have 130+ posts,rssssss you should know better,peace

Oh well its an n/a so its alright.

Yeah "chips" ain't the best mods. But welcome none the less.

n/t doesnt matter,i drive one too but that chip is a rookie mistake, i will tell so far the best thing i have done that produced a little extra go was i took out the throttle body which is very easy and went to home depot and bought a dremel used the sander bit and grinded out that lip that is inside it took a little while but when i put it back in it responds alot better and a little more umf.try that its really easy

Yeah the chip is a common rookie "non-searching" mistake. Your going to get a CEL and take it out anyway.

:sleep:chips dont do shit.... OOooOooO.... all they do it is tell your sensors what to do, mainly the IAT.. :screwy::cya:

that "chip" is just causing you to get lousy gas mileage because your engine thinks its sucking in really cold air so that it better run pig rich or else it will stall.

A friend of mine got a Venom chip for something crazy like 300 bucks. It has a warning to never turn off while the chip is on and you are driving. Well one day it accidentally happened and now his car runs like crap. I think he ended up spending more fixing the things the chip screwed with on his car instead of the actuall chip. Moral of the story... give your money to me instead of buying a "performance" chip.

a venom chip is somewhat different than a $.02 ebay "chip" resistor. the venom chip will actually give you a bit more performance, but those resistors just fuck with your computer. i wouldn't even waste the time to put it in.

Yes, I know but, we were on the subject of "chips" so I thought I would share my life story. :)

i know i know...i just wanted to state the fact that not all chips are a waste of money, they're in the category of "you get what you pay for"

today I will be puting on a bypass valve so I dont suck up water and crack my block.

just don't drive through big puddles and you won't have to worry.

I got one of those cheapos for free. Installed, just to test out. Did nothing. The plastic box actually ended up melting next to the exhaust manifold. I got it for free, so I can't complain. Waste of money for everyone else though. So many other mods you can do to gain power.

OMG (drools all over keyboard) not another thread about chips. I like french onion to dip my chips in. :D
