Getting a chip for my TL

Hi guys

I was wondering if there is any chips out there that actually work. My buddy has one for his truck and he can change between performance, towing, gas saving things like that. I was more interested in one for the gas saving. Is there any chips that people use on there TL's that work and don't ruin the engine?

I know it has been talked about before, but people where talking about these little ones you buy off ebay. I was talking more like some of these $300-500 ones you see in stores.

The $300-500 ones will perform the same as those little ones from ebay. Don't be fooled by the jacked-up price.

hahahahha, lol. Old heads like me clearly remember the salt shock Taco Doritos in the yellow/orange bag back in the late 80's/early 90's...they recently brought them back on a trial run and I bought a case of them shits...

back on topic, don't get any chips for our cars..the ecu programming is pretty much is maxxed out from what i hear for most gain..get a pulley, intake and headers for some really significant gains
