Them things are garbage they f*** you're car up and you can get the same thing thats in them at radioshack for a dollar or 2, they just come with a box thats say chip on it. Do not buy it.

thanks for the input buddy... i didnt think they could be too great for 30.00 lol... thanks for saving me the money.. any suggestions on what else i could pick up for a increase of power?? i have a k&n intake but thats it so far... do they make a charger or turbo kit for this engine??

I dont know if they make a kit but you can piece together a turbo set up for anything. The Only thing is you have to upgrade the internals and the ecu, plus you need the turbo and intercooler ect. so it going to be a lot of money, but it can be done. There not to much else you can do to make it faster. They don't make to much performance parts for these cars.
