A chip can't deliver performance. You would need more air and the exact corresponding amount of fuel (for lambda=1).
Just adding slightly more fuel to an Otto engine would only give a slight performance plus - and a fail in the periodical technical test. Adding more fuel and the engine looses power and finally stalls.
Or do you have an turbo diesel scooter!? These engines are quite different.
Salut/Cheers

I'm reasonably sure that there used to be a Power Commander chip for the Tmax, so I'm pretty sure the concept works.
There again, I doubt if you are going to get something for nothing - there will be some sort of downside, probably more fuel consumption.

Right if you need info on GTS's get on here, http://www.gtsownersclub.co.uk/ and ask the lads, what some of them don't know isn't worth knowing.

Leaving off the chips and losing a stone will give a bigger performance increase. Improves every aspect of performance, costs nothing and makes you more attractive to the opposite sex.

Can a performance chip do that..? :kiss:
