|
|
I found a couple of different performance chips on ebay for the XD. The ads seem a little hard to believe, like a super fix all tonic sales pitch or something. Has anyone tried these yet? They are cheap, thinking about giving one a shot for the heck of it. I'll bet they're getting rich off of everyone trying one out blindly though...what do you think?

i knew the answer to this post as soon as i saw the name of this thead.
no, this chip won't do anything, nore will any other chip like this do anything for any car anywhere ever.
adding 75 hp 8 dollars? are you kidding me. a trd supercharger for the tc doesn't even add more than that. it only makes 40 hp, and you think an 8 dollar part can add 75? |

| Oh snap, $2,500 TRD S/C for 40 HP. $8 chip for 75 HP? LOL, sounds like a really good deal, almost double the power for .0032% of the cost (I think I did the math right) |

Oh how nice, 20mpg is guaranteed :P
I wouldn't do it myself, but if you want to see if they're falsely advertising.. go ahead. I'd rather wait for something better to come along :) |
