Just an update guys. Advance Motorsports in Coquitlam here is doing PowerChip ECU tunes for about $800. PowerChip claims 18 or so hp and tq gains. (Not sure exactly, check the pdf for details) Here's the PDF I got from them a while ago:

So did he have to open the ECU and if he did, can you (or the dealer) see that it has been physically opened?

Yess I can feel a diference, mainly betwEen 3500 and 6000 rpm's.. What I noticed most is better gas milage.. Its only 20 hp gains, its not much, but for the $$ how else you gonna get 20 true hp.. Think about it
