in my oppinion chips are useless. save your money and get forced induction and a good suspension setup. you will thank me later ;)

Umm... Spoon doesn't make chips, just fully reprogrammed ECUs....Those "chips" on ebay are junk. All they are is an .08 cent resistor you can get at radio shack that you put in line on your ITS wire on your MAS. It tricks the ECU into thinking you have more air than you actually do going into the intake manifold, and the ecu adds more fuel and spark. Which causes what, class? That's right, an air/fuel mixture that's too rich.
What kind of mods are you running? If you plan on running some kind of fully built, 400hp turbo set up, then it would be nessacary to have a professional tuner re-map your ECU. My advice would be to do an intake, header, and exhaust, and don't be so gullible with all the shit thats on ebay, like Spoon chips and blinker fluid.
