    Many satisfactory reviews my friend. However, I have not tried the other company's tunes but the consensus is those that have can confirm JHM is superior.

    Remember, tuning NA cars is a bit trickier than the dime a dozen turbo tuners like APR/GIAC/REVO/etc....

    I have had JHM for 2 years now and I approve this message

    I don't wanna tune it like crazy.....I just want something to give me more jump in the car.....if it can be done with fair cost then cool.....otherwise am really not planning to spend big bucks....

    So anyone with minimum tune can maybe direct me or give me few details...

    Thx a bunch

    Everything you need to know is here: https://jhmotorsports.com/shop/catal...h=21_56_61_240

    The only thing that's not entirely correct is that you don't need downpipes/catbacks prior to the tune. It does help but if you get the tune first, the tune will adapt if you end up getting the exhaust afterward.

    You either get the JHM tune or you shouldn't get anything is my advice. Anything else is a waste of money.

    I called the JDM chip site and the guy was honest and said that some people complained and said their engine light came on.....but he didn't specify which cars had that and it's a chip that must be plugged in always in ur obd.....

    Anyhow I will look into the one u guys suggested.....thanks for all the help....appreciate it from a noobie audi owner....

    Thanks for the support guys!

    Op, don't waste time and money on a "JDM" chip. Those are the biggest shams.

    these "chips" falls in the same category as electric fan superchargers, completely useless and potentially dangerous

    if you're a noobie , just do lots of reading on here , it's the best way you can learn about your car and possible mods/important stuff

    Ivan, do yourself a favor and use the search function on the site. It will help you out tremendously with questions like this. As many others have said, JHM or nothing at all. The JDM chip is nothing but a scam.
