Chevoo-1/2 Chevy, 1/2 Daewoo. I mean like WTF?
usually on the topic of chips you get jumped on because most of the members here have been here a while and you can only take seeing "is this chip real" so many times....same with the turbonator..it doesn't work
wait, ur saying the turbonator dont work? i just bought one!
psyche.
You can not commit crimes in a Aveo. Its just not fast enough.
By the way, a huge rule when it comes to buying stuff online, if they have no contact address, phone number or staff listings/store photos...
...The company itself is probably fake.
"If I parked a T-72 tank in my back yard, aimed the cannon towards Mexico, and muttered something
about protecting my village from an invasion, the police would show up and probably haul me away."

Bottom line: ECU modification on a naturally aspirated vehicle (no turbo/super charger) will never give you more than (at MOST) 10hp/lb-ft.
Side note: Chips GO IN THE ECU. They do not wire into any sensors or harness. A company that claims they're selling a performance chip and it needs to be wired to ANYTHING, is full of ****. These are resistors, or small uncomplicated analog circuits that adjust the reading given by sensors BEFORE it reaches the ECU. Generally the idea is to trick the ECU into putting more fuel into the mixture. This is generally counter productive and harmful to the motor.
Reputable companies do sell products that need to be wired in, these are called piggyback computers or similar. The company WILL refer to them as such. These generally wire in AFTER the ECU, replacing it's instructions to the fuel/ignition systems with the piggyback's. So rather than tricking the ECU, you are bypassing it. This can still be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far the wall moves after you hit it.
