RE: performance chips????
 
have you modified any anything in regards to engine performance? if not i wouldn't recommend it. the gain in horsepower is not worth it. normally one would install a chip or modify a ecu before there is a need for more fuel eg. a turbocharger or a supercharger is added to the enigne which require more fuel delivery. if an intake or exhuast system there is no need for a performance chip. the only gain that might be possible probably removing the top speed governor if there's one. hope what i said makes sense.

no it will not mess the car up, what you might experience though is poor gas mileage, but hey every fast car gives poor gas mileagehttps://www.hyundaiforum.com/micons/m9.gif

i don't own a hyundai, i work on them. when an ecu is reprogrammed, it actually happens most of the time is the make compensation for the fuel map so if x amount of air is coming in the engine x amount of fuel is going to be delivered. otherwise you should still have your driveabilities as if you were driving the car before. also like i mention you might notice a top speed increase depending onhow they claim the new ecu willmake your car perform. what you should do is who ever you are buy/having reprogram your ecu, have them specify what gainsyou will be getting with the upgrade. then you can also make the decision on whether you want to make that step.
