Hi All,
I have been looking into getting a chip for my Vr6, thought i would ask the people in the know...
One of the best ones I was looking at was from powerchip (vic), though they want $990.00 for the thing. surely there must be a cheaper/better alternative out there, does it really give you the estimated 15KW.? Any of you guys have one. Is it worth the cash..?
In need of advice..
Cheers

(probably next week)!!
