Title: Turner/Conforti chip
Post by: Ryann on February 15, 2010, 10:01:24 PM

Considering purchasing one and wondering if anyone's installed one lately. Is the performance noticeable enough to justify the $250?

Seems like most guys here recommend the Mark D chip, its about $230.

The performance specs for these chips are typically specified (the Turner Motorsport/Conforti chip for the M42 is supposedly +12HP +15Lb/ft), but I'm wondering whether or not their actual affect on the driving experience is worth the $200+.

the higher redline and improved performance and fuel economy is worth it. i have a dinan and im happy with it.
