Performance Chips
Hi, I have a 08' type S and am looking for some cheap performance other than a Cold Air Intake so I have looked into JDM Pro M chips and wonder if they work and if there are any other good chips out there??

there are no working chips for our car at all. the only tuning option is the J&R ECU but its expensive and can take a while to get. search button is your best friend man

Best bang for your buck performance mod is a J-pipe(down pipe). 15-20hp & 20-25lbs torque.

aem fic works but due to the open loop tuning, it 'stumbles' a bit at half throttle. (i currently have it)

Just strap a leaf blower onto your intake manifold. The 4k superchargers and 6k turbos for our cars are overrated.

Then you should start using the search function to get a better idea on the "performance chip" you are looking for.
