Performance chips...the real truth

NSXNEXT · 2013-04-05 00:34:28

Saw this on the Hyundai forum... chips are a fun subject. One day I was bored and decided to buy one for the specific purpose of taking it apart. http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu239/tkacle/Chip/IMG_3908.jpg http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu239/tkacle/Chip/IMG_3911.jpg http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu239/tkacle/Chip/IMG_3916.jpg use at your own risk :)

ha! Wonder if that's an eBay or Craigslist purchase!

Seriously though... I never got into chipping. We did buy a reprogrammer for the Jeep and that made a significant difference. But never really "chipped" a vehicle before...

037 has 4,860 posts. Most of them in the 2G RL forum.

Guess I only remember the troublemakers.

Those pics were originally posted in the 2G RL forum some time back. I think I may have thanked Leo at the time for "taking one for the team" as he knew it was a scam. I remember the thread fairly well.

For everyone else, I am surprised that in these days when people can do a simple Google or Bing search to find that this is a scam, these things are still available.
