13-15? Highly unlikely it'll add that much... |

What do these aftermarket chips even do? Just advance your timing and increase your air/fuel? If your running stock, you probably won't see 5 horse.

POS stuff like that are guaranteed to work on high-end motors, not low end motors such as a 7A or 5S. You go ahead and buy it, then dyno your car. If you feel disappointed with the results, don't say that I didn't warn ya. GL. |

Don't be fooled, its unlikely you'll get more than 10bhp with a Piggyback
chip on an NA car. Dastek/ Unichip have a site detailing the typical HP gains for the model of car you have. Chipping is only worth it (cash: horsepower) if your engine is turbocharged and the gains then go in the region of 25-35 bhp. |
