ecu reflash

so hondata wants to play around with us 2005 autos ... anyone ever heard of or used jet chip for a reflash? here's a link to their site, lemmy know what you think? fyi, the price is $299 and that includes next day air shipment of ecu (keep in mind you'd prob want to pay to overnight your stock ecu to them)

First, I've never heard of them.

Two, they sound too good to be true.

Three, if an experienced Honda tuner like Hondata can't even get everything on the TSX ECU figured out, I highly doubt someone has beat them to it.

Four, it looks rather like a solder on chip, which I question and raises even more questions about warranty problems.

IMO, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole unless there is some sort of third party testing and data to back up their claims.

Does this jet chip come with afterburner control? Would I have to use jet fuel?

<- may have to look into this.

A buddy of mine got the Jet chip a little while after getting the Tornado for his S-10. Needless to say, i didn't have to tell him "I told you so..."
