hey guys, well heres the deal. i heard that the jet chip is supposed to add 20hp give or take a little, but i talked to one of my buddies and he said that it can rob u from hp and f##k thinks up, so my question to u guys is if u have any idea as to if it really adds hp or if its just a hp robber
also do u guys know of any other chips that are good and add hp plus more?

From a bunch of na guys I have talked to they say to send you money on other mods because it doesn't do much. I've also hear of a few cases where ecu's have gotten messed up but the JET reprogram.

Check out the parts guide http://www.dsmtuners.com/parts/default.php?cPath=86
It has a lot of things that will give you better power results. For a na car your best power for $ mod would getting a nitrous system.

Edit: I assumed you had a na, I'm stupid I didn't look at what car you cad under your name. Since you have a turbo car definitely don't let JET mess with your ecu!!! I've heard worst stories on turbo cars. JET reprograms the computer in your car and from turbo guys that I've heard getting it done they said it was one of the worst mods they have done. Use the money towards other upgrades. The stock ECU is fine, look how many people are running 12's, 11's and 10's on it.

Jet chip sucks, i had them do the chip on my GST and they basically just made the chip dump tons of fuel into the engine. once i started tuning with my AFC everything was out of wack. and when i tried to contact them, but gave me a bunch of bullshit with no real answers to what they actually did.

thats all i need to know guys, u guys were a great help

to source1064, i have meesed with all that nitrous s##t already and its not really worth it if u ask me, yes it is cheap hp but with all the chances u take by running and thinks like that i would rather spend my money on sothing else then a nitrous kit

but anywayz thanks for your info

ok wait i have one more question, what do u guys know about the venom performance control modules? venom says that it can add up to about 25% more hp with no other mods. now is this true or is this just another hp robber like the jet chip?

Same not worth the $ it's like the JET V-Force, more crap. Stay away from that stuff.

We're all using the stuff that works. When you run across things like computer chips that you've not heard of, or heard very little of, it usually isn't because they're a secret.

I have had a external jet chip computer(can't remember its name) for little over a year now. I have noticed that if I turn it on for 50 miles then off for 50 miles and repeat this every 50 miles, I get 24 miles per gallon in stop and go town driving and 27-28 on the highway in my 93 Laser RST-AWD

. I didn't realy notice any hp gain but the mpg going for 17-18 to 24 and 20-21 going to 27-28 seems to make up for the money I spent on it.

Spend your money on something smart...intake, exhaust, turbo, etc.

Are you saying that you wouldn't spend $150 to gain 6 mpg? At the gas price were I live, I save 4-5 dollars a fillup. Thats around $200 a year. While it took a while to pay it back, Now I can save money. But yes I would rather have bought a turbo or new shocks.

Stay away from JET! They are freakin' morons. I am unsure how they program their chips for the 4G63, but for the 420A, it is crap. A couple of years ago, JET announced that they made a chip for the 2G NT and so somebody tested it. Low and behold, the JET chip was exactly identical to the stock ECM!
