Those chips usually make the ECU think that the intake air temperature is lower than it actually is. The ECU will then inject more fuel to the mix and you get some extra power. I wouldn't use those chips though.

^^^ +100000

You really need to do research before you feel the need to make a thread on something that has been discussed a million-and-a-half times before. But to answer your question, no there is no "chip tuning" for our cars, don't waste your time looking those up. Instead, search apexi neo and do some reading. Good luck

^ Agree. From what I heard they are resistors that make the ECU think it's colder air coming in. Stick with the Neo and dyno tune

Yeah I think you need a dyno to properly tune with the Neo.
