I ask to some of the buyer of the chip or what ever that is.. This is the only one who already put it in his car... a BMW by the way. # more guy will letme know as soon the put the chip.

Hi, Just to let you know that before installing the chip I would first
upgrade the spark plugs to platnum +4 ($48.00), Change out the engine oil
with synthetic oil and add the ZEEMAX engine treatment for protection
($39 zeemax kit & $4.99 each QT oil), Install the cold air intake
($60.00) wtih heat the shield ($40.00), Eventually a bigger exhaust
system with a unrestricted muffler (399.00). Then add the chip. Just
like a jet engine you want to suck in alot of air (CAI), burn it fast
(platnum +4), and push it out as quick as possible (upgraded exhaust)
with the least resistance in the engine (synthetic and zeemax) then add
the chip so when the chip requests more air or quicker spark it gets it
on demand. Installing the chip with stock parts still on the car you
wont see much of an improvement other than a bit faster shifting and
higher rpm. But putting on the platnum plugs and cold air intake you see
quicker response, fast shifting, higher red line. I did however notice
that the traction stability control (TSC) took a 5th of a second to
engage because the response time from stepping on the gas to having the
tires start turning is very quick. I would recommend the chip but only
after (at a minimum) you get a CAI and platnum +4 you won't be
disapointed. I had the chip installed on my 99 bmw z3 2.3. Hope this
helps you. Here are 3 picks of my car in its early stages.

I really couldnt tell, plus it is hard to install and you will have to buy a
wiring diagram
of your car. I would pass if I where you.
