Performace Chips Question

I see performance chips advertised that can increase HP up to 35 hp. Has anyone placed these chips in their car? What results have you experienced? Do they hurt the car in anyway? Do they void the warranty?


Thanks in advance

Hehe... +35HP would bring me to 100HP, or about 113HP with the electric drive. Way more than I need.

Yeah, guys that was definitely spam. I killed the link and banned the user.

Don't be shy about using the "report post" button -- -- if you're not sure. One of the mods will look into it.

I don't want people hijacking EM to peddle their junk.

I'll add that the Mods do an excellent job dealing with reported posts.
Don't count on them noticing - they're lazy bums and only read the reported posts (Just kidding. I'm really asking for it, ain't I?)
Don't wait for someone else to do it, report it first!
