C230 Komp Sedan - 2003
Just called powerchip and spoke with a guy there; with a heavy british accent. I asked him...hay... the charts they showing is not of a dyno...if they showed us the dyno with the stock chip and Powerchiped chip and if it showed a realistic gain....you porbably have a lot of business...from me and i assume lot of other people here with the 1.8 liter engin....but the guy was like " oh we disagree...we don't disclouse our dynometer blah blah blah...."

he brought up the mustang and powerdyne rap....and i was like all i need (and i'm probably talking for 20 people) is a dnyo of stock vs. powerchip all we need is to see 5 to their claimed 18 hp gain and he probably got at least 20 people's business!!!!! and he was like....no sir...blah blah blah....but he did say...if you get the product and it doesn't do what you expected on a track, dyno, acceleration....money back garantee... i wish i grew money trees and had a second car....i give it a shot....anyone gonna pursue this?

by the way i'm texas and i get 93 octane gas

It's the same when you email them. No official dyno, no references allowed. Just trust them?
