Car: 1990 Corrado G60

Cost:$125 from GIAC

Impressions:

I had heard that the Garrett chip was the way to go, especially for 4 cylinders and now I'm a believer! Previously I had installed a Neuspeed chip which I felt didn't do very much for me so I was skeptical about plunking down $125 for another chip. Once I got the chip in, I was pleasantly surprised, I could feel more power coming on at around 2500 rpm and the top end is much stronger. I had always been a little disappointed with both the low and top end and this chip 'fixes' both. As an added bonus I have been noticing an increase in gas mileage, about 2 extra miles per gallon. In terms of modifications, this would have to be one of the best and easiest. I takes me anywhere from 20-40 minutes to remove the ECU, swap chips and put it back in and for the dramatic increase in HP, it's well worth it.

Note: You will need to know which computer you have in your car. On the label on top of your computer, you should see a set of numbers with two letters at the end of it. Mine is an "EA" but there are other possibilities. You need these letters to get the right chip for your car.
