Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 2Original post

IMHO....you need to find a good tuning shop near you and go hang out....buy what you like from them and get off the ebay thing.... there is no support and no proof any of those things work from people selling on there.....They are selling "Stuff" and most just turn it for a buck and move on.... Go to someone who knows what they are selling, will help you get it set up and working right, and help if you have issues.....PLUS keep you from buying things you really dont need. Just my $.02 This chip... I say "NO"

POST 3Original post

ALSO I am being friendly when I ask... is your name Maci? and is it May See or Mack EE ( I have heard it both ways...) Mine is easy...Ed (swear this has nothing to do with the Porsh-Porsch-a thing, though I know some might run me thru the wringer for this)

You are WAY off base, the "E" is silent and the "D" is the sound of "d" followed by a soft "u" Its like saying Double, but only the first sylible ya know "Duh"

POST 7Original post

Agree with the others that it is kind of risky, but the idea is of interest. I been tempted to try the Softronics approach (reprogram the stock chip). Easily reversable if needed (except for the money part ).

POST 9Original post

Sorry, chip for n/a motors are generally not cost-effective. Plus that company and ad looks like a rip-off. I've chipped several Turbo VWs and Audis (with Neuspeed and APR), that's where you get bang for the buck, a true 30-50hp by bumping the boost with fuel mapping.

Agreed. Turbos have room for gaining a decent amount of HP, but the potential HP gains for a NA car is maybe 10 to 12 HP? You won't even notice the added HP. However, your car will go faster because your wallet will be $750 to $1,000 lighter and you won't be willing to admit (even to yourself) that you spent $750+ and got nothing for it.
