    GForce Performance Chip for BMW E46 330 ZHP

    Hey guys,

    Has anyone ever heard of these chips? The gains seem impressive, especially for $70...but I'm a firm believer in "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." Thoughts? Anyone using the chip?

    And for $70 my BS alert flashes red. Don't know anything about these, but $70 sounds ridiculously cheap.

    No. Perhaps a link reading is in order. lol


    The only way you're going to get anywhere near 60hp in gains is forced induction or thousands of dollars in engine work. This is a massively BS claim.

    It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

    Not worth it, It is similar to the same "Performance" boxes that state they reprogram the ecu but simply plug into the maf/map sensors. all they do is cut back the voltage using resistors/potentiometers to the ecu adding timing and bringing the air fuel from rich to a bit leaner.

    In this case since the BMW DME is using the Inlet Air Temperature sensor in it's fuel/timing calculations they are able to adjust the signal tot he DME. crappy way of tuning if that's what you call it.
