No, no chip.
None that are really chips or really work that is.
Hypertech has the Sport something, and there are a few places that can reflash your ECU, but you would have to send it to them.
then there are the standalone ECU's that require rewiring, programming and +/-$1100 just to get in.

you must hate using the search function or something, again this has been discussed many times over and no the performance chip wont work, but if u want to solder some $5 resistor in your ecu and make it run pig rich to wash out your cylinder walls, by all means go ahead. When you do give me a call so i can take the trans off your hands

You may have heard the expressions, 'If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is,' and, 'There's one born every minute?'

First, when they use sales tactics like "Up To" a 60hp increase. And "Up To" 7mpg increase, all while decreasing emissions, and "safely," and all for $70? I'd be weary... VERY weary.
Why it's a turbocharger in a matchbox!! And all for $70 and ten minutes of your time!!

Plus I seem to remember seeing G-Force as an eBay seller of anything-automotive-they-can-get-their-hands-on-to-sell kind of company... if they are a an actual company.

one thing you always wanna look for when some one is claming more preformance and power is proof... i didnt see any dyno sheets or anything on there page showing that they have done any testing at all...

wait i just relized you are the same guy with the turbo question....

i really wish they would put a "do not try this at home" warning at the begining of the fast and furious movies... lol

but anyways next time you have a question her are some good sourses to search first

www.google.com

www.mazda3forums.com

www.mazda247.com

www.mazdaspeeders.com

they all have sears bars at the top you can basically tye in any question and itll come up with something

and i understand you are probaly a new owner and have lots of questions i did at first too but there are aot of tools out there for your use so utilize them like ive learned to lol
