Default Ebay remap for v2 sti ra?

Seems like everyone is selling chips for the older classics these days. Has anyone had one of these ebay chips fitted to there car? Is it as much of a gamble with detonation as it seems ??? Is it best to buy this sort of thing from a well known specialist and if so who? The car is a v2 sti ra thats standard apart from an exhaust and filter. Any help appreciated

DONT DOOOOOO IT!!!

Shouldnt even think about it, or even posted that question on here... It will only destroy your car. Get a proper ECU and map

You would have to get a daughter board, something like a SimTek
