Default Racechip?

Has anyone tried or have experience with Racechip? Ive done quite a bit of research and they are legit in Germany, reviews, can't find anything negative really about them. My only reservation is that it essentially tricks the ECU into reading certain data, but is this really any diff than reflashes? At the end of the day, the ECU is behaving differently to achieve the added power. Kinda Matrix-like, if the ECU believes its real then isn't it? There is an install on Youtube on the B9 platform and the poster has great things to say about it. Plus there's no way in hell I'm getting TD1 on the B9; we have yet to see if there are any issues with the first iteration. The Racechip installs in minutes with 0 tools.


Anyone have experience either with them or other "piggybacks" from Benz or even BMW (JB tunes, etc)?

You should pm HyperS4. He is our mod expert and has experience with the Racechip. He should be able to help you, I think he even has some installation pictures here.
