Based on price alone, I wouldn't trust this. There is no way you're going to get these kinds of gains from an add-on chip that costs $69. In the past, tuning our cars required the ECU to be physically opened in order to flash the software.

Deal only with the reputable tuning shops you've see on this forum - I recommend Eurocharged as they have an office in South Africa (I assume this would be most convenient for you from a shipping perspective.) They also now offer a remote tuning option that does not require the ecu to be physically opened!

This chip appears to only modify information from the IAT (air intake temp sensor)...not advised unless you know the OE IAT is not optimally located.

When I first read this thread title I thought of a chip that programmed your girlfriend/wife to be cool with spending money on your car. Unfortunately I was wrong.

I thought it was to slow the car down for the gf lol.

But yea, reading the description on the IAT, it's the 10 cent resistor for $60 scam.
