You mentioned you have a shift chip for your aveo. Fill me in, What kind is it?, where did u get it? and how much?

Thanks, Kris

im thinkin its prolly one of those resistor module thingies you can get on e-bay. there is quite a bit of controversy over them as to whether they work or not. i dont know tho as i have never tried em. but you can pick em up off e-bay for like 20 bucks. its your risk and your $20 if you want to try it or not. i was thinkin about it but i kind of shyed away from it.

I installed a K&N Cone air filter #RU-3610 , for a very effective cold air intake,after removing the entire airbox. This is a HUGE air filter. It filled the space of the air box and is a perfect fit onto the oxygen sensor tube. I paid $50.00 Canadian. I also removed the negative battery cable, and reconnected it, so the ECU would recognize the change. The change in acceleration is huge and very surprising! It also makes good grumbling sound on acceleration. I think the large size of the air filter, and the lack of tubing, is allowing a large volume of air into the intake. I did this before with another Aveo, using a smaller cone filter from RAid. The results were poor and only slightly better acceleration. I also ported a silicone line from a shielded cone high flow filter into the fender air port for a true cold air intake. Again. poor results. If you want an easy inexpensive boost in power, remove the air box, and attach the K&N #RU-3610.
