Why we can't chip our car???????
 
Well I figured I would ask because i am a retard, and everyone I know tells me that they chip there car and why can't i chip mine?? I always tell them( acting like I am a mechanic) Being a turbo car, The specs can't be the same with different aspects.( I talk out my ass) So why can't we be chipped

what's a chip? I guess it's like a flash and therefore we do get "chips"?

I may be wrong but new cars have there chips soldered to the board. You can reprogram them because they are eeprom. Cars before 1996 pre obd 2 cars have removable chips. Someone correct me if Im wrong

Flashing is the same as chipping without desoldering the chip. The old socketed ecu's with removable e-prom, where you could physically remove the chip and plug a different chip with different air/fuel maps and timing. Which was popular with the european marque Porsches', BMW, Audi's here in the US

Flash = chip

What do you think flash means? Flash is changing the information on the ECU's "chip", so basically we don't get a new chip because we reprogram the one we have, same thing.

I had this weird vision of someone with a hammer and a pick trying to dent their car to no avail.
