Default SpeedChip

What is the deal with these speedchips on ebay claim to increase HP by 15-20? I guess they fool the ECM into thinking there is constant cold air increasing the fuel mixture of something like that..Is there any value to these? DO they work?

I mean they are kinda cheap but Im not really performance savvy so I posted here to get some info.. thanks all.

Default Well That Makes Absolutely NO Sense

When people sell stuff they aren't supposed to lie about what their product does especially selling on a high volume site like ebay

Default Actually, he has a lot of options for tuning . . .

come visit the 12v development forum. Most people will feel surprised at how much hp we can squeeze out of 2.8l 12v motor with a stock chip. I make somewhere around 220-230hp, and I can comfortably run with to a B6 A4 3.0l.

Unfortunately, power on normally aspirated engines does not come cheap like it does on forced induction engines, but a gentleman by the account name of "UrS4" makes quite an extensive line of products for the 12v. He advertises on AudiWorld as "Abnormally Aspirated"; however, many of his best products have not made it onto his website.

His 12v project will likely clear 300hp with a stock chip and 350+ with a stand alone aftermarket ECU and modded AAH engine cams. If you want to learn, you need to pay attention to the 12v development forum and read along day-by-day to catch-on to the really cool stuff we have learned and developed.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/12v/">12v Forum</a></li></ul>
