P5 Performance chip ??

[neuspeed_junker]

i was told that there is a ECU performance chip for the P5 2.0 engine. i would like to know if anyone has one and if it's worth doing and where they can be purchased, i've looked all over the net and no luck only universal programming machines that cost around 800.00 USD. and ebay has some that look like there bull s***, and they are because a friend of mine purchased one and brought it to a performance auto shop to get it installed and the guy started laughing, it was a little black box about 2.5 inches in width and height, and it has four short wire coming out of it.

anyways if anyone can shed some light that would be great.

Nope, there isn't anything. Only thing that can help would be an Mp3 ECU.

someone on here a while back bought a redline performance chip i think it was called, and that is a waste of money, and it will actually be worse for your car even though it claims for 10-whatever hp gain.

Less power and may mess things up. Stay far, far away.

Ya that's the closest thing. It'll change the timing a little bit and if you remove VTCS you'll supposedly get 10hp on premium gas.

Where could I pick up an MP3 ECU and about how much will it cost?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but they only work effectively on manuals because there were no MP3 autos. Are you auto or 5-speed?

 

[nealric]

They wont work at all on autos because there would be nothing to tell the tranny to shift.

The "chips" on ebay don't do s***, but the sticker that comes with it actually gives you 10 hp!

I sent my ECU into Jet Performance a few years ago and they did a reprogram based on the mods I had. I don't exactly know how much of a difference it made because I installed cams and a UDP at the same time. At any rate, it is kinda spendy ($399) and you'd probably be better off finding one from the MP3 - if you can find one.

When i went to a dealership the sales person told me there were chips available for the car, for some reason he added that there from California.
