Re: Cheap tuning chip? (Jape)
No one that I know of has bought the chip. I am SUPER skeptical of things that tell me they are going to take my 122 (1.8L) or 106 (1.6L) horsepower engine and add 50 to it plus give me 45mpg. If these things were so good, you'd have every person on this forum with them.
Just know that by adding a chip, your dealer will probably not do any warranty work (if you still have your warranty) relating to the engine, electronics, or powertrain.
Hope this helps. If you get it, you'd be the pioneer.

Give it a try and let us all know. :P
im sure messing with the engine code is against warranty which im not gonna lose at 6k miles. They say it makes the fuel combust at the optimum stiochiometric point. Which is an impressive word for a chip programmer that cost under 20 dollars. On one hand, you would think the car manufacturers would be aiming for this optimum point already, but on the other I could see them being less willing to make their products the absolute most efficient to get more $$ in the long term. :/
Looking around their site, they also have a "Fireball Muffler". Just a 4 inch tip for $2.00 but $19.00 shipping. I cant tell if this place is getting these parts a dime a dozen, or if im just gonna get a bobble head doll in a box for anything I order.
