Its kinda pricey though. It will bump your max hp to 155 and and up the rev limiter to 6800 or 7200. Stock rev limiter is set at 6500 RPM. |

Re: Performance Chip ?????????
I've read here by several people that said that our computers were incompatible due to the firmware installed. Is that false? It might help me decide to keep the Astra instead of selling it off for an old Integra. The Integra will be more reliable either way, though.

I drove an integra type r fully built on 10psi almost 450hp. I would meet change back. The Astra is just so much more comfortable and those old Honda rust inside out. Don't sell te Astra!

Re: Performance Chip ?????????
I know Hondas far better than Opels. It also helps that this car has less than 30,000 miles more than my 13 year old newer car and I know the original owner. Non-riced Integra LS. Base model, 4 door, manual transmission that isn't completely ****ing dead at 77,000 miles like the Astra...

Re: Performance Chip ?????????
Oh, and while it has blown dampers all the way around, so does my 13 year newer Astra. Seriously, this car has half the problems the Astra has. There's a reason we want out of this POS so badly.
