JET Chip..??

Hey guys,

Saw a JET chip for sale in the classifieds section.. Anyone use this? Is it worth the cash? I tried to get HPT done over the summer and it blew out my computer.. lol. I think this is a bit safer.. Would you suggest? And how to install??

Thanks!

the chip installs between the computer and the harness in the engine bay. I had one on my 2.2 it was the Jet stage 2 and when I dynoed it there was about an 18hp gain.

get a HPT tune from someone who knows what they're doing. Those chips are a waste of time and money. all the chip does is add a resistor to lean your car out some

Jet chip is alright it does work, but since your a auto 2.4 the trifecta tune would be your best bet and its very easy to install I got mine a month ago and luv it.
