I didn't know about some parameters until 2 months ago. I went turbo with an E-Tune (after 6-7 years of owning the car). I started having problems since I can feel the car having issues. Looked at my tables, did a ton of research and my numbers were off. High fuel trims, AFR wasn't as stable end result was loose hose (EVAP Hose). Learning about engine knock, timing degrees. I wouldn't say I'm knowledgeable about cars or tuning but I knew what I was getting into and was dedicated enough to research everything. I don't want to sound like I'm gatekeeping but people who are new to the car scene love to listen to others around them or at shows. They add mods but don't know what they do. Such as sway bars, strut bars. They upgrade them but don't know how it affects the handling or changes the car.

Might have malicious code and stuff running there, and that's before even deciding to willingly give them CC info. yikes.

Used the iPhone to check so I felt relatively safe.

Do you even know why you want a chip?
Why not learn to drive first? Take that $200 and spend in on a racing coach at a track day. |

no, you didn't. you [mis]understood that a specific product increased your vehicles capabilities. you purchased said product from a company offering to sell it.
they delivered the product as promised. you note of no adverse effects of using the product, but say that the information that you used to justify purchasing the product changed afterwards. that is a mistake. that is experience. that is learning. take this as a lesson to be more diligent in your research, move on, and enjoy life.
