""The module will fit ANY PETROL car manufactured on or after 1989 and any fuel injected petrol car manufactured before 1989"" Quote from their ad

If this thing actually worked( Im a doubting thomas) it wont be any good for your Supra as its Fuel Injected and made after 1989.

My answer would be NO!!

I have a friend that bought a chip off of ebay for $80 for his R32 Gts-t and he gained 20kw at the wheels (proved on a dyno). It's a cheap upgrade for the time being if you upgrade is going to take a while.

The ad says that it advances your timing by roughly 2 degrees.
Simple as that...why not just advance your timing by that and save your money!!??
Just make sure you're running good premium fuel so you dont have any detonation problems!
Even better - have a dyno tune so your timings are perfect.
Let me know if you need any assistance with timings.
Cheers,
Wooks

cheers, i wuld appreciate any help. i do believe that my timing may be off, because lately (on the od occasion) as i slowly accelerate my car with shift up then down a gear and start to jolt... hasnt done it in a few days but i wasnt sure what it was.

funny that yous say that it aint worth it coz i emailed the seller and was like "how much will it improve my bhp" and he said for a turbo it would be from 11-15bhp and NA 5-10bhp. but if all i need is a dyno and tune then i'd rather do that.

Mod chips are soo 90's now. Dodgy, dodgy.

You can't retune them is a major problem. For nearly the same money you can get a 2nd hand piggy back that will shit all over it.

GEE
