your car is obd-II, which means you don't chip, but use software. you should probably look into the shark injector by jim conforti. try www.turnermotorsport.com

Conforti's software (aka Shark Injector or Shark Chip for OBD I) is consistently the best.

There is nothing else if you want the best :)

Dinan makes tranny chips as well...but for DME software, it's conforti all the way.

Get the shark injector, you won't regret it. Don't waste time with Dinan of BavAuto chips, just get a shark injector.

Generally Jim C is considered the best, they all cost about the same, so why not go with Jim?

Dinan stuff is fine to, but you will not get more from them compared to Jim's chip. They are not as agressive.

I also have the Dinan Trans chip, and I'm really happy with it and the Jim C engine chip.
