Those chips are simply jokes. If you really want a turbo you should do some research and piece together your own set up rather than using a universal kit.

The only thing buying those devices will improve is the bank accounts of the people selling them.


What's hilarious on the "chip" one is they decry their competitors selling a cheap resistor for $8.99... but if you look at the description of what theirs does, that's EXACTLY THE SAME THING THEY'RE SELLING TO YOU... they just make theirs look nicer.

They're selling you a part you can buy for 50 cents at radio shack, and all it does it lie to your ECU about the intake air temperature.

Which is not something I recommend doing in the first place.

get ppe headers, they add bout 12whp, no CEL cuz they use high flow cats, to be honest if ur trying to make ur car go as fast as a (chipped) 335i, u got the wrong car, intake give u like 3-5whp, a full cat back gives u 10 to 12whp, the ECU is encrypted (only JDM isnt) so boost is out of the question...and if u go with the LMS super ur looking at aound 50whp and like 4 to 5 pounds, and with meth, maybe 6 or 7....all and all ur gona throw down around 8 grand...my advice just trade in for a used isf, they go for like 46 grand these days with low miles and call it a day, u dont need to mod a isf, maybe a drop and spacers...but until someone does decrypt the ECU, itll probably be like 3 grand since the isf ECU tune was around that

as seen in this video which i bet everyone denies its existence haha, a simple 500 buck JB3 give the 335i 420hp!!!

lexus is350 is an amazing luxury platform which is just so it happens that its pretty darn fast...it wasnt really intended to be modded, im sure some one will over come the ECU, the high compression engine, and eventually get boost with a meth kit but that alot time and money...a company a while ago tried to do a 2JZ swap, 50 grand later, they still couldnt get the climate control to work, IMO, just be happy with wat u got, theres not much out there right now to increase hp
