Well, assuming you were running a B16B with your B16B ecu, then it was very foolish because a Skunk2 chip is not tuned. It's a high fuel high spark basemap that blankets various N/A modifications under the guise that more fuel = more air = more power. While in the simplest of terms, that is correct, it's far from a complete truth.

With a Skunk2 ECU, you're just going to run rich.

Get a chipped ECU with a basemap for the motor and modifications you have done, and then get it dyno or street tuned.

Considering they're going to wipe out the skunk2 tune and hopefully put one on that is better suited for your car and then retune it on a dyno ....

You might as well have just traded for a stock p28.
