Re: Autotech Q-Chip

["John Hopkins" <vergeo@email.msn.com>]

Hi Eric   On my 98 GLX I didn't have to swap my ECU the chip in my car was a
pop out.  I didn't here the bad review but, when I called ABD (which sells
the P-Chip and the Q-chip).  They told me that the Q-Chip performed better
the the P-Chip.  What turned me off about the garret chip was that it was
not carp exempt which means that something is not street legal.The chip
feels good.  It does what it claims in increasing the power through the rev
band but, more so in the mid to top end range.  The only thing that I regret
about the cruise was that I didn't get a chance to test the Q-Chip against
all of the Garret Chip boys.
