i guess everybody cant be as baller as us with our 18T's and what not...

You're excited, aren't ya? :P

I bet you will notice a SLIGHT different with a chip on an N/A, but nothing to justify spending money on performance... Put money into suspension if you want it to have more usable performance that's possible :)

Haha you pay a 1,000 for your chips yet i pay 200 for mine and expect 16hp gain. I don't care if i feel anything or not. It's all in your head :ph34r:

If its a LED gauge, youd need to hook it up to a wideband controller which takes the wideband readings and converts it to the correct narrowband votage for the gauge to read correctly, even then its highly innacurate vs an actual number readout.

If your planning on just hooking it up to a narrowband, it will be even more useless. If the tune ur using is ok, theres no reason to need to monitor your airfuel ratios.

You know one of those led gauges that look pretty? Thats why, plus wouldn't i have to monitor running lean therefore detonation at high rpms?

Serious question

i really hate to be the dickhead here, but hes not going to recognize any difference really. just get a turbo.

who knows? someone has to try out new products and since there is still a decent amount VS'ers running NA it might be worth thier while if it pans out. We'll just consider him a guinea pig if it works great but if it doesnt only he has to dish the money
