Optima R chip? (ebay)

Has anyone gotten a chip other then the $600 unichip? I am interested in some reasonable mods for my 2002 S but I can't afford that much. The Optima R claims 15-20 HP and is $20. I know, rrrrrrriight.

So, is there anything that I can do for under $200 that will give a noticeable difference without violating warranty or emissions?

thanks

(and yes, I searched, but got a bunch of chipped paint threads)

You get what you pay for, an expensive resistor. At 30, you should be wiser.

haha, ya dont even mess with it. lots of those things just make your car run rich = screw it up in the long run. If I were to get just 1 power mod, I would get the Icebox intake because it gives the best power (other than the AEM V2 that doesnt fit the type S) and gives 100% reliable power.

There are no chips for our car that are worth the money. The best thing you can spend your money on for noticable gains are Intake, Header (a lil more than 200) UR pully (probably the best sub 200 mod there is)
