it has a hp gain calculator and whatnot on there, seems interesting, what do you think?

 

The ad does not specify which engine the chip is designed for, 2.8 V6 aspirated or 1.8 L4 turbo charged. Furthermore it also "applies" to diesel engines...???
Compatible with factory equipped Turbo/Supercharger and Diesel Engines

I would not send $90 for this. I doubt the gain will amaze you...

 

not sure. probably different apps.

 

i wouldnt trust it.. it shows the bar graph . .and says it is measuring.. power.. not horsepower, not torque.. but power.. okay. and what are the increments for the graph?? there are no numbers anywhere.. so is that showing 100 power gain.. or just 1 or 2? and again.. this is power.. lol.. i can see it now.. "how much horsepower that thing pushing buddy?? ".. " not sure.. but its pushing 3 square blocks of power at 4 blocks of rpm's.. thats gotta be good..."..lol.. stick with apr, awe or giac if you wanna tune your car..

 

lol nice, good point dude haha, but i dont know where to get any performance stuff that matters for my 30 valve?

 

I don't know that you can do much with the 30v engine unless you want to spend major bucks on special pistons and cam sprockets and exhaust. Not much can be done with the intake, except for a compressor.
Turbo engines benefit a lot from a chip as it is easy to boost pressure.

 

what about a cam grind? port and polish? or i hate to say it but nitrous?

 

id go with exhaust.. thatll be your most bang for buck.. with an aggressive chip and intake mod youll probably notice quite a bit.. it will not be as noticable as the turbo engines because they are way detuned for the market, so as soon as the ecu's are cracked they're cranking up the boost..

 

nice, i already have exhaust though lol.

 

then get a turbo
