Don't even waste your time with the chip!!!! It will only **** you off weeks you have it. Eventually you will convince yourself to get gears and the chip will be worthless. Save up for the tuner.

Hypertech makes a good programmer... Few hundred bucks on ebay. Will compliment bolt on parts and exhaust upgrades well.
