Another ECU Chip?

Post by smeadows7 »

I stumbled upon this the other day. It's a very cheap alternative which makes me think too good to be true but for $70 and 100% satisfaction guarantee I'm tempted to try it. Anyone heard of this company GForce? Anyone tried this?Here's a link http://www.gfchips.com/pontiacvibe.aspx

That chip is junk and will do nothing for your Vibe. There are no "CHIPS" that work on our Vibes. They are all just gimmicks to part your money from your wallet. The only "Piggyback ECU's" that work on the Vibe are: Unichip, Camcon, e-Manage Blue, e-Manage Ultimate.

It's nothing more than a over priced resistor that messes with Air Flow or Air Temp measurement. Not worth the time or money!
