    Just ask the seller which chip it is closest to in performance, chances are they'll say Dinan because they just ripped it off of a dinan chip.

      It may not mean anything about how the chip performs, but it means a lot in determining potential customer confidence in both the product and the people making it.

          Car seems to run better, quieter idle. Not much of a performance gain but they do seem to work.
          I just threw mine in for the 525 computer from this seller, I bought it purely for shits and giggles.

          Its definitely smoother through the power band, and higher rev limiter, has more punch in the mid range, its butt dyno noticable but i cannot imagine it more than maybe at most 10whp peak.

          My car is stock btw with low miles, solid compression and leakdown results, YMMV.

          For $35 I rolled the dice just to see. Im not mad at all, its actually more fun to drive and that is worth it to me. I always have a working stock 525 to toss back in if i change my mind. I had low expectations for this, but I was pleasantly surprised.

          If you have $35 to goof around with, I say try it.
