GBBeware 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.

GBGTE 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!

GBSo people if you get one through three stages you want be disappointed ! Well people like they advertise that it is no gimmick, well it's not I got a stage two for my 2014 Silverado and another of the same for my son , he has a beautiful 2011 black SS Camaro that still has under 50.000 miles on it and you can tell the acceleration in both his and mine such a big difference! That is what I like about the chips there is no hesitation anymore and when you are rolling down highway o yea and hit it around other slower traffic big difference. Now as far as gas mileage well I think it is about the same that I was already getting ,but I am very happy with them . I have got two other friends to get them and counting . Alright Smarttune performance chip manufacturer all that I put in this review is true and very happy. I should get a stage three for all the sales I have sent your way lol .

GBCan't get ahold of them to return a… Can't get ahold of them to return a product Update: Got a call from their customer service department. I don't know why they didn't receive my email, but they really stepped up to the plate to resolve my unhappiness. They were really great to handle this situation after contacting me. PSA: The stage one tuning chip is the bomb!

GBThey change their website page to try… They change their website page to try and hide their identity because so many people were having problems. Look at some of the comments the way they talk about their customers they call one guy troll. He’s not the one selling products performance chip tuning is a rip off and the people that work here are just as bad, they don’t mind stealing your money
