advantages:
better tuning options (only if you are smart enough to get tuned by a TUNER)

disadvantages:
possibly worse gas mileage if you dont tune
possibly blow engine
possibly a lot of things

word of advice - do not go OBDI unless you plan on getting tuned. buying a chipped ecu is a complete waste of money and can be dangerous pending where you got the ecu from.
