    From first hand experience a Greenfoam tune will transform your car. I used a base tune he gave me and made a few (very minor) adjustments and the car flys. A straight plug and play job will work fine - I only changed it because I like to tinker

    at the very least send it to someone with a burner so they can read the chip and see what is actually on it.
