NO.

search around mate, these things are terrible. unless you want your cabin to smell like unburnt fuel?

if you are serious about wanting power and are willing to pay more then $17.50 contact MACE engineering.

Its not a chip, its a mod that lies to your engine about its environment.. NOT a good plan.

These are less than $17.50 and will make your car go much faster than that 'chip'.
Make sure you get the red ones though, they are at least 20% faster than other colours.



On a more serious note, a real chip is a good idea. Speak to MACE, or someone else that knows what they are talking about, in your local speed shop maybe. Remember though, there are very few things that can improve your performance and dont cost much. The best way to get performance on the cheap is to take your car to an expert tuner and have him make it run the way the factory intended it to..give it a decent service. After that, you are going to start needed some actual cash.

The only thing you can buy for $17.50 that will make your car go faster is a nice clean new air or fuel filter.

Its Rubbish Mate, All it does it trick your ECU into thinking the car is still cold, as adding more fuel, But at operating Temp all your going to do is burn alot of fuel and clog your CAT etc and possibly cause engine damage.

They work better when used in conjunction with at least one hiclone
