not really worth it unless ur car is turbo ( which its not ) cause those works best on turbo charged cars such as wrx, evo, sti etc.

Well, not necesarily true.

[Utec] does work best with turboed cars, but its a must when you have a ton of bolt-ons; you can't risk running too lean. Or you can get a ECU reflash.

The thing about a tune/chip is that it raises your whole powerband, not just the top end.

From what I hear, it'll make your car feel completely revived. Power from the second you touch the pedal to the second you lay off it

they are talking about Piggyback ECU or EMS which you need a shop to tune. *** cars don't have Chip like European that can just be plug-in. A cheaper option will be ECU reflash but you still need to send your ECU or go to a shop that can reprogram it. Unless you have tons of bolt-on then the Power to $$ ratio is not good.

Go search for Utec, Unichip, Emanage, SS EMS.
