Mazda 3, cheap chips-vs-high $ chips ?
I have seen cheap mod. chips that boast 20 hp but I have heard that all they do is change you Air temp sesor so on humid midwest days they can help.. but on cool 70* days you gain nothing.... does anyone know if this is true... and can you get any gain from these cheap chips.....Does the expensive ones do any better.

There are NO "chips" for the newer mazdas. They just don't work. Save your money for traditional mods like intake/exhaust/header....or save for a while and buy some forged rods and a HiBoost turbo kit and make 508whp like my buddy Juan did.

NO chips?
I was surfing around a little and found a site that claimed they had a chip for the new Mazda3. There aren't any stats or dynos associated with it, but it is a chip. apparently it's for a 1.6L Mazda3??? I think over seas they call it the Mazda3 Neo. Are they claiming "It's the one"

we are one of the few exclusive retailers that will be offering the Microtech LT10s engine management system for the Mazda3. Dyno of a bone stock car with nothing more than a tuned Microtech showed a peak 14 horsepower gain to the wheels. The system controls all aspect of the fuel and spark system including the ability to control the variable valve timing. We think its a promising unit that is going to open a lot of doors for this car. contact me if interested.
