Default Chips

hi all,

Simple question

jetchip or Unichip and why?

I have jetchip stage 1 now but it seem not to make a noticable diffrence.
The salesman at my local 4x4 store says that the unichip is "great!!"
I would say that as well if I was him.....:-)

any good advice is welcome ( oh I allready tried the "i want to test it first with no result")

kindest
Ron

You're getting it because of the tires/regearing. If you're looking for performance increase, regear or reengine. LOL.

And I prefer plain potato chips--no fake flavoring for me!

That's the ticket. David at Northridge treats the JK-Forum members right (I suspect he treats all his customers right). Be sure to mention JK-Forum to see if any discounts may apply.

Hey RonH, dont waste your money & time, Chips & programmers from the States dont seem to work on GCC specs cars, SleepyBoy a member in this forum tried it here in Dubai with no luck too. So my advise if you want to buy a chip or a programmer is to buy it from a dealer here in UAE, just in case if something goes wrong you are backed up by dealer warranty.
