Hi, I'm considering of getting my car chipped, car has 70 000 miles on it. it would definitelly be awesome getting around 190 hp then having 150 hp witk stock stuff.
I was searching around and seems like there is some issues when comes to installing those chips, does it do any harm to the engine at all (in other words - is it safe for the car)
It's my baby after all :wink: some people are having problems with their cars after getting chipped, why is that? not enough experienced tech who installed them? Should I go for GIAC at all or get something else? I know there are also chips for the transmission, do i have to put them both if I decide to chip my B5 ? what if i install only ECU chip and skip transmission one, due to low budget at the moment?
Thanks for advise
