If that is for real it is the deal of the millenium! That is less than $1/hp gain. It seems suspect to me.

any chip manufacturer that covers ALL makes/models is bs. if anything u'll end up doing more harm. guys like giac, apr, jb, cobb... they're all specific to a certain handful of makes. it'd be i mpossible for them to invest the r&d necessary to come up with an ecu upgrade for so many different platforms.

There's a couple of threads on this and other forums about these types of chips. For example:

Didn't terry from bms come out with a chip for N52? I think it offers a few hp gain along with a lot better throttle response.

SteveMD · 11-05-2009, 12:48 PM

+1 Yes, Terry makes a box. I think you get about 10HP.
