GTE Stage 1 Chip 2018 Maxima Like many people, I was a bit skeptical about buying a so called “performance chip” to plug into my OBD2, as the online forums for my car state that even the best tuners out there haven’t been able to crack the ECU or do much to enhance the performance for it. But I decided to give it a chance, and for $99 and 60-day guarantee what did I have to lose? It came in 3 days just as the sales rep told me, and after about 15 mins of installation I noticed a major difference in the power and torque/throttle response, no placebo effect here. I drive my car regularly all day most days and am very accustomed to it’s characteristics, and though the 8th gen Maxima is already a quick car, this chip added that missing “fun-factor” I was looking for! Couldn’t be more pleased with this product especially for the money. I’d imagine it could take $1-2k to get the same effect other ways. Only other mod is K&N drop in filter which I already had for a while and run 93 octane. Now I’m just curious about the Stage 3!

Let’s just say I got dyno sheets to… Let’s just say I got dyno sheets to prove these chips are garbage. I have 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile times that say they don’t make any changes to ur car. Tried out on two different types of cars save ur money. I am thinking about starting a class action law suit so people stop getting scammed. If interested let me know you can call my attorney.

Chips don't work and could cause electrical issues I personally used this chip for 6 months now and have driven close to 5000 miles with it. They do not do anything at all to your vehicle and could cause electrical issues like what happened to my 2010 Ford F-150. I did some more research and it looks like they have two reviews blogs that they own, one to help give positive reviews to their chips and one to give bad reviews to competing chips. I am not saying that you shouldn't buy from them, I am just saying that you should do a little more research before you spend your hard earned money on something that could harm you car. Tried to contact them 2 weeks in and they kept giving me the run around then they said they couldn't help me or give me a refund, its a shame, I really wanted to like this company and their chips.

2008 Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police… 2008 Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor 4.6l. Factory dual exhaust which I removed factory muffler and installed 2 FlowMaster single chamber mufflers along with a K&N filter in factory box( since that truely pulls cold air from outside engine compartment). These vehicles come from Ford with high performance tweaks already. I installed the Stage 1 Performance Chip and within about 150 miles I noticed much crisper throttle response and firmer shifting! Along with an Awesome WOT!! Ive tried other performance chips and IAT splice in chips but nothing compares to this simple plug and play chip, best $100 you can spend to "wake up" this 4.6l ! I just upgraded to the Stage 2 Chip and will post a review after a few miles. I am a gear head and have been wrenching for 40 yrs. Living in California I just wanted this car to get out of its own way and Performance Chip answers that problem. I do own and build hot rods/muscle cars. This P71 is a shop car/parts runner.

Beware of Electrical Issues I am no expert but I did notice performance gain on my 08 Chevy HHR SS. The problem is the chip caused some electrical issues. When I first installed it some fuses were blown immediately. I replaced those thinking its just a one time issue. Used the chip for a few more weeks and then one day the ABS light came on. Took it to my mechanic and it turns out that the ABS module/system was gone. Now I cannot say its due to the JDM chip but I had never had electrical issues with the car before installing the JDM chip. So yes it does increase performance but beware of electrical issues at least if you own the HHR SS. No plans to use it anymore. Will go back to my Pedal Commander which has always worked well for me. Yes I know they are not the same but I am not trying to race anyone.
