DO NOT BUY ANY "ebay" CHIPS! Please... just do not.

There aren't really any "chips" for the tC. There are some piggyback systems though... Unichip is one of them. But really don't bother unless you're either boosted or have quite a few bolt ons and want to get a good tune and the most benefit from them.

Oh ya, it's not cheap either.

Im sorry but I really hope you grow out of your fast and the furious stage. You need to take a day and just read threads on here, they will help you out a lot. After reading some of your threads your car is going to be riced out.

Any luck in making your auto tc fast for cheap? Save yourself the money and buy a street bike if you want to go fast.

Sell your car and get a used 2006 or around then 350z in manual. You will be faster than 90% of the cars on the road, as well as faster than most tc's, even turbos.

I have a 350z now came from an '07 Auto tC. It is a world's difference as far as power goes. Honestly though, the tC and Z cannot even be compared. The Z is a road course beast while the tC is a compact fwd 4 cyl that can be made fast with some turbo application similar to Honda Civic SI's etc..

I had full bolt-on's on my tC and still have them on. CAI to exhaust and felt minimal gains. I'd wait for some tuning software to come out to maximize bolt-on power gains then get a cheap ebay chip.

Remember you get what you pay for..

Not to push anyone's buttons but if you bought an automatic, why are you concerned about going fast?

either way the only real way the OP is going to get any decent amount of hp is through fi..anything else really is more for show than for any real gains power wise..i've thought on and off so many times about selling my header an intake just because they are pretty much worthless lol

haha well... an intake is pleasing to the ears as well if your exhaust tone isnt drowning it out.

Considering that the OP is 17, I can bet that the tC is his first car and he had no choice over transmission.

We should all know the feeling and emotions this person is going through since most of us were just as "excited" when we got our first car in high school.

But as the old saying goes...its better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you're stupid than open it and prove them right.
Hopefully the OP learns to use the search button before posting threads.

This should be your first mod, OP
