Default Quite sure it is; I've got one sitting on my desk for a while now :P

And I might be willing to let it go since I'm a bit low on cash right now...

I have had one for over 50,000 miles. Happy with the performance.

Default 'Cause I'd need to send my ECU out to have it installed...

Haven't been able to let my car sit in the garage for that long :P

Default I have a chip from Powerchip and I didn't notice any improved fuel economy...

I thought I could notice a difference in the low end torque but was never able to substantiate it on the Dyno. If you're going to get a chip then I think you should get an intake and exhaust so that your ECU can access the different air/fuel mappings with the increase air flow. Now that I have these with the chip, I notice the car revs a lot faster and I seem to have gained some HP at the top of the RPMS. Low end torque doesn't seem to be affected according to the butt dyno.

Default I got it directly from Wetterauer. I was probably the first one....

who have tried Wett on 3.0 . To tell you the truth I don't remember how it effected the fuel economy. It is just that you have to put at least the 91 octane gas. My best guess is the effects are minimal if any. One thing for sure that it did improve the performance and totally got rid of the dreadful slow pickup when having the RPM drop to 3000 on the second gear (happens when you are turning and have to slow down and engage the second) and you can feel the torque all the way to the red line. Hope that helps
