Garbage. Only mail order tune/basemap I'd mess with would be something from xenocron.

Agreed. these things have been on Ebay for years and I've never heard any positive feedback. Just get a tune.

Agree 100% with the above posts. Engine management isn't something to skimp on and needs to be tuned to each car.

Agree with the above posts. Never buy a chip saying anything about being tuned for your motor off of ebay. Never ever ever ever ever. Basically you need a tuner to go in and re-map your ecu for your altitude, any parts that have been put on (even an intake mani needs a certain map), fuel you are running or want to run, everything. A good tuner can do it for about $100. Most will even just sell you a whole chipped p28 ECU for like $150-200.
