There are no performance gains from chipping. Some will remove the upshift delay (which was designed to warm up the catalyst) you experience when you first start to the car.

The chips will also increase max redline by 200 rpm and eliminate the top speed governor.

Cool thats what I wanted to hear, I actually called a couple places and they told me it only gives a few HP if that from messing with the fuel.

Just for namesake, what are the chips that offer the higher rev and speed limiter delete?

This is actually for a customer of mine, he asked so I research. Dont hate me but I drive BMW's. . .I almost got a 190E-16V but I got an E30 M3 instead.

You should look at 500e.com as there have been numerous posts concerning chip options and what they bring to the table.
