What is a chip or EPROM?
An E-Prom is a static memory device (sort of like a floppy disk). The Engine Control Unit (ECU) looks to it only for data. If it cannot understand or does not like what it sees, it simply will not operate. Software can not damage hardware, therefore, provided the E-Prom is installed properly, there is no possibility that your computer can be damaged in any way. 2) How do chips work? Performance improvements are achieved through fine tuning the engine and not through a fundamental change in the way the engine operates. With a Performance E-Prom installed, your car should drive in every way as well as it did stock. Gas mileage, emissions, as well as engine longevity should not vary in any way, and although an 8% to 20% gain in power will make a dramatic difference in the way the car performs, it is no where near enough of an increase to adversely affect any part of the drivetrain. 3) Will it affect my vehicle’s warranty? Your vehicle warranty is covered under the Magnusson-Moss Warranty
