Chipped? You got some "splainin' to do" dude? I dont' think we know what you are talking about?



EDIT: Shows you what I know, I thought he was talking about the paint!

He's talking about an ECU upgrade I believe. And no, you can't just chip these ECU's.

EDIT: My bad, you can. But it will do nothing.

Well, you CAN chip them, but you'll gain nothing in the end. It's an adaptive ECU.... you're gonna need a piggyback box (ie Greddy, HKS, Apex'i) to do any real messing around, or you could go full standalone (ie Motech, Haltech, etc) but I wouldn't bother unless you're running BIG boost via either turbo or S/C.

Exactly what Wolfpack said,it would cost a few hundred dollars for a questionable 10hp at the most gain.
