Re: Performance chip ?

yes you are risking damage. Those are fail-safes that keep your engine from blowing up. Unless you have a built engine that can handle high revs and occasional knocks, then go ahead.

"chipping" isn't as easy as throwing something in your car. It needs to be tuned aftewards.

What chip are you talking about?

IBTL, by the way.

Your car will explode and your airbag will detonate. There is a death risk. And a $2000 fine.
