Impressions? Experiances? The Garret chip sounds very enticing. <p>-Andrew

Haven't found much in the archives, either. I e-mailed Garrett Lim twice with questions about his chips, and each time he responded, in detail, by the next day. I've decided to get his chip for the following reasons: 1) the few people who reported in the Forum LOVE their chip; 2) he seems to be responsive to customers and happy to customize; 3) the price is right ($400); 4) he seems to like what he does and interacting with enthusiasts and 5) I'm only 2 hours away from his shop.

I have a Garrett stage II chip... it is awesome. Performance is amazing, and mileage is noticeably improved. Garrett is easy to deal with, and is quite the guru.

Chip, Do you have any other mods in addition to the Garrett Stage 2?

Default ...now you got me thinking.

Charlie,<br>I am planning to Chip in the spring and had never seriously considered the Garrett products since there is very little about them mentioned on this forum.<p>I have 3 questions for you:<br>1) What is the Garret websit URL?<br>2) What questions did you ask them? I assume they were questions that I would also have - like boost, warranty, downtime, upgrades, etc. Would you mind posting your corresponces with them or a summary assuming they contain useful technical info?<p>Thanks,<br>Chris <br>98 1.8TQS Tip<br>

Default CARB compliant

Any thoughts/concerns on his products being non-CARB compliant - i.e., not street legal. Obviously, he's had to cover himself by putting in his disclaimer about track usage only - BUT is there a consumer risk if our chipped cars do not pass emmissions standards. Are all other chips CARB compliant?<br>Chris
