Re: should i buy?

ive heard that these chips are bs but ive also heard that they work. I wouldnt expect huge gains maybe a cpl hp. and like the description says any chipped ecu is made for engines with mods like i/h/e. You could prolly get as much hp out of just an e-bay brand cold air intake and it requires a lot less work IMO but for 25 bucks it wont hurt to try the chip

A dyno and a programmable ECU is the best way to remap.

i got one of thoughs chipped pr4 ECUs from ebay, it works, said i didnt have to advance my timing cuz the chip will do that for me but i feel it runs better with it advanced. Would probably work better if u had some basic mods done but just dont expect alot. Your biggest hp gain would be from puttin on the intake and a header as far as simple bolt-ons go.

i wouldnt trust ebay for anything. Its your car, treat it like it should be. Dont take the cheap route.
