Pierre, I like the idea of open source-code chip tunning. Kinda like the Unix of car tunning. Here's my concerns: What about the gearbox? For example, mine's an auto, can the standard gearbox handle the extra power? Is the Aero gearbox different than the LPT? What about the chassis? Is the Aero's chassis reinforced? What about emmissions? And of course the issue that Jim mentioned with Turbo variation. At that price I would definitly consider getting it, even though I'm in the US. Spyderman: Chill out. Nobody is going to force you do it.
