28457, Performance Chips
Posted by tacoman123, Jul-24-02 07:21 AM
Reading some of the desctiptions of some performance chips, escpecially on ebay...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1845583624

It seems like that these are just resistors that you put on you ECU, not even a "chip".. does anyone have this?

These must be high quality, heavy duty resistors than, LOL..

If anyone knows, please tell me..

Thanks

i think this is in the things we've seen before forum, but anyway. those addon chips do nothing for our car. they change things and then the ECU changes it right back. the bang for the buck mods for us is the AFX UDP and going turbo.

chips- they really only work with engines that have electronic boost control (vw/audi 1.8t (can get 196hp with a chip, from 150hp... 500bucks).. or saabs... or other electronic boost engines.
