I've ran on the hack for 2 years with no problems. I guess luck just stays on my side. Like I said, you can run the hack, just go get tuned and retard the timing by 2 degrees I believe and it should be fine. You can run dsm injectors with a resistor box for the bling bling look or just get 10 ohm 10 watt resistors from radio shack and run them inline. When a chip gets burnt for you, its just for a base map which gets your car running from point a to point b. Now when u get tuned it'll be fine tuned to get the highest potential from the motor.
