You need to get tuned. Alot of tuners offer chipping services. This guy chips ECUs and tunes... but I don't know where you're located.

You can also find information regarding the ECU on this site: http://www.pgmfi.org

You can't just put a chip in and be ok, you're going to have to get it tuned on a dyno to avoid damaging your engine. Putting an unknown chip in there can really mess things up. Save your self the trouble and do it right. There are several free utilities for tuning your car availible once you have your ecu chipped.

do NOT put the mugen or spoon chips in....

They have advanced timing and you'll blow your motor... (not to mention they suck anyway)

we're telling you that you need to go to a dyno and tune it properly.

Buying a pre-made program will just shorten the life of the engine.
