    A chip that plugs in using vampire clips..... run for the hills. I'll bet this thing could switch your tv signal from VHF to UHF though.

    I like how they say "tailored to each individual vehicle", yet their chip-to-vehicle information is all universal/the same.

    Like VXorado said, you either need a reputable access port or a pro-tune. Something like the Cobb AccessPort, which is easy to use and popular with many tuners. With the hardware proper mods, it allows you to remap the ECU and get some pretty solid gains. Sadly, no such luck for ISUZU.

    "Lastly, we would suggest the use of an aftermarket ecu such as our own WOLF V500. With the above bolt on mods and then some ecu remapping you will be very surprised at how the car transforms. In our experience the engines were heavily restricted from factory so theres a lot of power to be had just by releasing the restrictions imposed by Isuzu."


    This is from a guy that only deals with Isuzus

    I always chipped my VWs.It was done with remaping ecu.
    It gave me about 25 more horses and took off the governor,so instead of cutting power at 130mph,you could get close to 150mph

    Dave and I had my 2000 Audi S4 chipped at a high perf professional shop and it went from 250 to 318 HP! Wohoo, that twin turbo could scoot and move those Bridgestone SO3s! ......'course it cost about $1,100. Ah, fond memories from long ago and far away!!!!

    When I saw those $25 ones offered on ebay I just had to laugh, knew they had to be a scam!

    Now that you got me to thinking, I got the 25 horses on my VR6.
    Like you I got 50 to 60 on the turbo
