    Bought the stage 3 for my 2009 *** **** and noticed no performance gains or increase in mileage. Tested for over 1000 miles and nothing, which is exactly what I heard back from the company when I attempted to contact them!

    SCAM!!! I purchased a new 2022 Nissan ****** ********, and drove it for about 900 miles. I then purchased a stage 3 tuner from Thorton. Drove it for a few thousand miles, and absolutely no difference. I reset it, and drove it another few thousand miles, and no change AGAIN!!! I just purchased a new 2023 Nissan ********** ********, and was on their chat asking questions, but when I brought up my ******, I was mysteriously disconnected. What a scam!!!! Why can’t these scam businesses be sued, or shut down??

    For those of you who write a review about a company that you bought a chip from like Thorton and then your mechanic tells you that it’s a scam and you didn’t even try the product and write a bad review you should’ve tried the product first I have don’t know about the horsepower part but I am noticing a significant improvement on fuel mileage I have not driven the whole 150 miles yet but I can tell you this my fuel mileage did not drop but it did go up and now I am going to put the chip in my wife’s car I had no engine lights come on did not lose any power on acceleration it may have improved but not sure at this point but my fuel mileage is better at this point people wrote a bad review on the On the E3 plugs glad I didn’t listen have them at all three of my vehicles may be in a fourth now love them so don’t write a bad review if you haven’t tried the product who are you???

    [Order #398916] Ordered this product with the option of 3-5 Business day shipping, It's been a week now in business days and the product is still stuck in the states (NJ) and not expected to be here for another week. Anytime I hop on the site it says "We're online" in the chat and about a minute after I open my ticket it gets closed and their magically offline. Customer service is a -10/10. If you plan on ordering in the future pick flat rate shipping. Big time scammers

    This chip had absolutely no positive effect on my vehicle actually the mileage got worse and the check engine light came on upon removing the chip my mileage went. Back to where it was previously unfortunately the reviews of this product are spot on

    I bought the stage 3 chip for my 2005 mustang gt. Man what a difference. I have added headers, 4.10 gears 62mm dual throttle body, Ford racing cams, 2/ 1/2 stainless exhaust hooked up to outlaw 44 mufflers. The chip added a great deal more at a very low cost. I’m 65, and have a lot of old school in me wondered about the chip, it is well worth it

    I purchased the product with a tuner they offered. Used it for well over 500 miles. Took it with car to a professional car performance shop to dyno. Absolutely no game and I can also attest absolutely no fuel gain sent an email for the second time saying it does not work. His direct answer was I disagree! Do not buy this product. I wish somebody would at least lean on them and warner threaten them this is absolutely absurd.
