Don't waste your money on junks like that. There are plenty of bolt-on mods that actually improve performance (intake, header, pulleys. etc).

and besides, the only chip sort of thing offered for our car is the Comptech reflash, which isn't available for 08's. Go get yourself some headers or pulleys

That's not a performance chip. You wouldn't be able to swap your ecu with that.

That module is used to trick the car's sensors. Your car will adjust to it though, so you'll only have a minute of a benefit. After that, your car will compensate and you'll run at stock.
