RE: Chip

a chip will make a huge gain regardless of tranny. Only difference is you will have slightly less power to the wheels due to extra drivetrain loss. Deff do it, it is well worth the money

RE: Chip

It wont harm anything that isnt already failing. If your turbo is worn, it will show easier with more psi. As for the engine, do a compression test and find out if its still strong
