you can but they only hurt the car. instead of a chip go with a piggy back fuel system like an safc or an safc2 or you can go with a full stand alone fuel system.

well the only actual chips i have ssen are on ebay and they trick the ecu and advance the timing too much and cause ping. a good standalone is either a haltech or a microtec. my buddy Dave from www.speedmachineperformance.com sells them. they are pretty expensive but they are worth the money. if you ever go with a big port job and boost and you already have the standalone then you wont have to worry about starving your engine if you have the right size injectors

i seriously hope you arent talking about rtek, and just about the other cheap ebay junkers. rtek chips DO NOT trick the ecu into anything. Rtek is would I would recommend, though I think that is all you can get anyway. Im getting a 1.7 or 1.8 Rtek chip soon myself. Check their website and all of the features

rtek is pretty safe if you ask me... most dyno's ive seen have the afr's in the correct range (ie under 13)

but then again do you have a turbo?

fwiw the rtek doesnt really add power it just adds fuel and some timing above a certain psi (12 i think)

you have to do the same thing with JET.

hell you could go with a megasquirt. they cost the same as an safc2 but they are a full stand alone like the haltech

MS is a very good option... but if you have crazy power goals your better off with a microtech or haltech...... heck but if you really want the best get a motec

The Rtek for the S5 NA ONLY removes the OMP and the associated limp mode when it fails.

They're developping a stage 2 for the NA's though.
