...eBay???


hello,

On eBay, you often come across offers for chips that supposedly boost performance, but they cost only a fraction of what established tuning companies charge for their chips.
I understand that chips purchased on eBay typically don't have an approval certificate (ABE). However, these sellers often advertise that they are copies of the original tuning software from well-known tuners.

That probably applies to tuning boxes as well, right?

Has anyone had any experience with these 'cheap' aftermarket tuning parts?

Thank you in advance.
Regards, Kalle.

Hi gremlin,

obviously already! icon_cool.gif There are enough posts about various tuning methods and possibilities, as well as experiences! Reading is fundamental!

Here's a translation:

'A small tip: avoid that cheap junk. It could be life-threatening!'
