So chips like these really work? Any problems? Can chips cause problems? And if so, what kind? Thinking about putting one in a 4G TL...

Thanks!

honestly, learn about cars, thats all i'll say lol. if you think anything universal will ever really benefit your car, you should ride bikes. this company advertises adding up to 60 HP, one of the cars is a smart car. do you know how much HP a smart car starts with? 70! thats nearly doubling the damn thing for 70 bucks? cmon seriously? did you buy the car for $85.12? http://www.gfchips.com/smartfortwo.aspx

WOW!!!! What a wonderful device that shows how stupid manufacturers are. Why doesn't Acura install this device at the factory and gain a ton more HP and get better gas mileage?

Especially since GF says that it won't affect warranty and can be used with any other mod.

Why didn't I do that with my BMW - maybe I wouldn't have had to change fuel pumps so often.

Let me clarify this for the OP. These universal chips do nothing but lighten your wallet. The claims are impossible and don't just border on fraud.

Something to read.

So 1hp for approximately $1.17 each?


Sounds legit! Sign me up! Let me grab my credit card # now!
