for $400..you can get a header's and a lightweight crank pulley which would defintley make you feel a difference.

the powerchip isn't worth the extra money for about 4 horsepower.
is this a new company? this is the first i've heard of them.:paranoid:
IDK...91 octaine. I've been hearing that 91 doesn't make ANY difference with our cars. and if the whole thing is stock except for a power chip than that sounds wierd. i wouldn't trust it.

the timing of the stock computer is advanced to yield higher hp/tq. advancing timing requires higher octane fuel to avoid engine knock, aka 91, 93 etc. powerchip has been around for awhile, harman has one of their maps in his accent and loves it.

i'm not going to tell you what i think about being required to use higher octane fuel for 10 hp.
not worth it IMO unless you are running some serious mods

im with TAK...start with the exhaust....you will see much more noticable gains for the same price....and with the money you are saving not running higher octane gas you can buy other things;):
I would buy it if i had the money, thiers only so much you can do to our cars that actually helps in performance. If it actually is +10hp and +10tq its deffinetly worth it in my book. Just my .02. Does anyone know if this will work with an 01 1.6, i dont see why it wouldnt.
