Chipping is a bad idea unless you really know what you're doing. Stay away from things you see on ebay etc. If you're using a chipped ECU, it should be done professionally and be ready to pay for some dyno time and a tuner who can fine tune a program for your car.

So unless your car is heavily modified naturally aspirated or boosted, chipping should not be at the top of your list of mods.

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!
