well, any type of modification to a car CAN have negative effects to it...
The things is, my modifying cars you usually sacrifice something else..
Sometimes it reliability, sometimes weight, sometimes fuel consumption...you know what i mean..
ALOT of people have used these aftermarket chips, and to tell you the truth, you could argue that they are probably the safest performance mod you can do for your car..
Lots of hours or research and testing have produced the final product, and alot of people have had them installed... I dont know of anybody complaining about one yet...
Basically, the main negative effect you might get from chipping your car is reduced fuel economy...
the hp gains are quote noticable indeed, and you'll get addicted to the quest for more power quickly! hehe
What they basically do is increase, and maintain a higher lever of boost than the factory computer...and it does this without getting any errors from the cars computer, thats because it's done properly..
I'd definately consider it, it's a great first upgrade along with an exhaust and possibly air filter, or just modifaction to the inlet pipe..
Can anyone else offer some more info? I didn't really go into that much detail..
i'm sure you wont be dissapointed..
good luck with it!
cheers
