I would not go for that chip. Just doesn't sound right, just the first sentence:Chip removes fuel cut off for unlimited to allow for unlimited boost?

And also, I highly doubt the T28 will be able to produce 360 BHP, you'd need at least an gt28 r or rs for that, and also the 444 cc injectors seem a bit small for 360 bhp.

Compare it to the modlist of a H-dev stage 3 chip:

http://www.h-dev.co.uk/product...2b578With a better turbo, that produces only around 300 BHP

Also I think some work to the internals of the engine and a wideband O2 system to monitor your AFR wont hurt when going over 300 BHP. And I think you'd be better off with a stand alone engine managment then with a standardized chip when going for 350bhp.

Do you have e85 where you live? in that case i would recomend a e85 or flexifuel chip (chip with both gasoline and e85 maps)

Doubling the engines horsepower and anything off E-bay sounds like a bad combination. I know someone will want to swoop in and defend SS autocrap or whatever off-brand **** they bought off E-bay but I refuse to change my view on that cheesy crap people peddle there in their "storefronts". If you are serious about making power, get serious about your parts and log off E-gay.

if you are looking for that kind of power............

there are reasons shops have dynos in them. going cheap on tuning is a very unwise idea even if it is a "conservative tune"
