Re: Performance chip

Don't waste your money on that. The only good thing I've heard of any hand held tuner is changing the shift points on A4 it will be a minimal hp increase if any. Dyno tuning is the best way to get your computer tuned for more power but if you don't have one nearby then a mail order tune would be another way to go. Do you have any mods?

Buy the HPTuners or LS1edit programs and do it your self.

Re: Performance chip

The G-Force "chip" is a total scam - a resistor in a tiny plastic box. It simply connects to the IAT (inlet air temp) sensor. Look over their site.... every single chip they sell, whether its for a 4-cylinder Hyundai or a 12-cylinder Ferrari offers the exact same "performance" ("up to 60HP") and "mileage" (4-7MPG) improvements.

Do not fall for this total BS. Its disgusting that vendors are allowed to sell crap like this to amateur performance enthusiasts using totally false claims.

Re: Performance chip

Just saw the link and wow that is a total scam for some reason I thought it was a handheld tuner just so you know your computer doesn't need a chip it gets tuned with software. If you want to get some more power I would suggest this. Get rid of the shorty headers and get some longtubes, exhaust, and a tune.

Re: Performance chip

+1 for a tune from a local guy along with basic bolt ons.
