i've noticed several ECU chips being advertised in different places, but are they really worth it ? they sound too good to be true, that is, increase horsepower AND mpg's in just 15 minutes for 70 bucks .. ??
does everyone have one of these except me ? am i that late to the "party" ? just wanted to ask for anyones two cents worth on the subject. thanks to one and all in advance. -al |

I've run across a 'New Standard' that says all ECU after Model Year '03 must be able to be re-flashed by other than the Dealer.. but that doesnt apply to us
