I thought they were a bought "off the shelf" type of chip, i was'nt aware
that they were remappable specifically for your cars state of tune.

I was warned by David at API about these and told to stay away !!
Go with the ecutek.

I Think there just a chip that fools the ecu and not the real thing, although they up the boost im not so sure about the fueling to match. Ive also been told stay away from them

My Legacy had one on and it turned out to be a fuel cut defender and manual boost controller Someone paid £500 for that and it didn't alter the fueling or timing I was glad that I'd found it and cut it out.

Nasty!
