Even if you could, what is the point? The xB will still be slow. If you wanted gains from a vehicle, then you should of invested your money in some other car that can be modded with acceptable gains.

Don't ever "chip" any car. All it is is a resistor pack to trick your car's computer into thinking it's getting more air than it normally would and so sends more gas into the injectors. It's the same effect if you were to put your foot closer to the floor when on the gas pedal. There is absolutely no difference in HP gains. If they claim it, ask them to prove it.
