I have a GS430 2004 and made the mistake of hooking up this GFORCE performance chip I got for christmas.
I asked them to send me a wire digram to make sure I connected the wire clips to the right two wires. They did so I did what they instructed. The moment I started the car I could tell it was running rough... I got the check engine light and VSC lights on also so I turned off the car and disconnected the chip.
I took the car into the shop and it ended up being the mother board after all. The G-Force chip fried it and it cost $1000 to get repaired... I did everything as they told me and my mechanic verified that I did tap into the two wires they tell you to... so just a warning this could happen to you also.
Another heads up to anyone considering that piece of junk GFORCE CHIP. They promise a full 100% refund if your not satisfied, but what you don't know is that buried in the small fine print in the long terms and conditions ( if you were to bother reading them) They let you know that they charge a 25% restocking fee! So you pay 69.00 + shipping = $74.95. Then you have to pay to ship it back ($5.95 ) so your $80+ into this mess. This is after the damage to my car so add $990.00 to fix it. So now I'm at $1,070.90 and all they refunded me was $51.75 when I was expecting the $69.00 back. They just keep bending you over and filling their pockets at every turn. No wonder they offer 100% money back guarantee. They make $17.25 off every return as well.
