Facts About Chips for lancer GTS

Ok i am new to all this and been trying to find some details out.

What are the best chips out there and what are the advantages and disadvantages of them??

Also would it be wise to get a intake and exhaust before the chip?

there are no "chips" for the lancer gts.

you have the rrm piggyback or a flash tune through ecuflash and a tactrix cable 2.0, the flash tune is provided via email from works or RPW (racing performance works, australia)

I have the rpw tune and its great.

piggyback is a box u hook up.

a flash is when u actually change the ROM values set in the cars ecu via a tactrix cable and a laptop.

tactrix cable + laptop is the best way to go, rrm makes good stuff but i dont recommend using a piggyback as a tuning tool.

Ecuflash isn't a flash, it's the program that enables you to flash an ecu.

OP, I recommend doing some googling on ecuflash.

also visit worksevo.com go to the lancer section and read about their available flash for the lancer, to avoid buying a cable and flashing by yourself you can send in your ECU to them and for $299 they will flash it and send it back.
