They don't help a stock engine, your engine has to have a need for the altered settings

Is your engine stock? Like did you do anything to it, or did the previous owner do anything to it? Also do you know what the engine code is? Is it a b16 or b18? cause 2.1l isnt really possible with a 1.6l engine....

if the motor is stock then its pointless. if you have more then share of mods, such as higher c/r, cams and more displacement and you're running a stock ECU then yes you will notice a considerable difference otherwise don't expect more then 5whp on a mild setup.
