I wouldnt really trust a chip that wasnt programmed for my personal set up. You dont know what kind of motor it was set up for. Plus if you dont have any work then its really pointless just get a vafc and have some one tune it for you that knows what they are doing.

a chip is used generally to lift speed limiters, raise the redline, and throw more fuel into ur engine. as said before it will only make gains if u have other modifications aside from basic bolt ons. it all depends on ur engine set up and wut u plan on doing. u can get a chip in ur ECU but if ure running a lightly modified car id look into something else first.

if you get the right chip, you can get readouts and adjust fuel maps, ignition, etc.

you need a new cat or some cams now, not a chip.

for hondas, a chip is something you'd need to manage your motor after a serious modification like some sort of forced induction or a minor-major n/a setup. you don't need it now. bolt ons are eh..
