Default Powerchip from Australia for STR?

Anybody have one of these? Seems very expensive but they do show what looks like a dyno chart but it might just be hand drawn too??

I know we have a few guys in Australia so maybe, just maybe, someone has some experience with this??

Brochure attached below.

Stay as far away from that crowd as you can. You have been warned.

Did you even google "Powerchip" ? See the 3rd hit?

Try googling the owners name "Wayne Besanko"

No I did not. Thank you very much for the warning!! I figured it was too good to be true but had not seen it discussed on the forum.

You can read the rest of the posts over the forums, so many people have reported less power after installing a chip. Powerchip is an office downstairs from Wayne's apartment. They have no dyno. Said office got a gearbox dumped on it's doorstep after the whole internet war.

You could spend days reading all the complaints against this company online...

Since Wayne's been busted in the automotive tuning world, perhaps he'd do better marketing in in the food industry as: "Power Chocolate Chip" cookies? "Our cookies have more meth for that "Get Up and Go" than our competitiors cookies.
