This morning I'm really lazy so instead of explaining why NOT to buy or install such "magic cheap chips" on your cat, I'll just advice you to read this thread: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...uestion-64101/

Cheap things are the most expensive ones for your car... remember this

Somebody once said...."If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is"

Did you end up buying - I hope not, chips like that are likely to end up costing you your engine. Given how much you value your cars monetarily or otherwise if yo have to plug it in to get the ECU to change through it away. From what i have heard, when it comes to tuning boxes there are some exceptions but you are maying big $$$. The one that comes to mind is Steinberg, extremely good from all accounts.
