Something thats confused me for a few weeks now...

why exactly does everyone here call JET MODULES, "chips"? theres a distinct difference between the two products.

reason i ask, is coming from GM cars, chips were more "back in the day".... since 1996, when OBD II setups came about, computers are not really "chipped" anymore.... they are reflashed.

here, check this out:

those are actual chips listed for GM on JET's site: http://www.jetchip.com/products.asp?pid=23393

they are actual "chips" as what you would see when you open up a computer and check the internals. they are replaced like CPU's are in a computer, as a plug in part, where you open up the ECU.

JET's MODULES, on the other hand are as they list em.... "modules"

even says it on the product. the page for dodge: http://www.jetchip.com/products.asp?pid=21696

i dunno, just a question i figured i'd ask, since i dont know the answer. theres a few things i've asked about here where i was talking the same product, but theres been like a different name for a few things. kinda like in the little mermaid, where Ariel is combing her hair with a FORK, but she calls it a "DingleHopper"...

please dont anyone take offense to this, its just a small question. its just kinda confusing reading and learning about some things and they arent called what they actually are... trying to adjust.

But inside the module, all that's in there is a chip :-) The modules are just easier to install, plug-in outside the box rather than inside.

Sorry man, you're way off base here. Inside that plastic case is a potent mixture of panda-bear tears and buffalo hoof, wrapped in tin foil and secured with rubber bands. I just... know it.

I'm gonna have a few for sale after lunch, if anyone is interested, lol...

Damn, I was waaaaaaaaay off

In that case, I'll take four.

cuz "chipping" a car sounds cool...

"moduling" a car... not so much

actually inside the module, theres a circuit board thats has resistors

. not really any pronged chips. got bored with the one we tested, had to see for myself.

same thing as http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dodge...spagenameZWDVW

but in its purest form, this is all it turns out to be http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PERFO...spagenameZWDVW

its a bit more sophisticated, than the last one, but the difference between stage 1 and 2 is the size of the resistor. same effects though.

that was my initial guess, and ironically thats what made me ask this last night.

i was in the grocery store, and i noticed in the boca burger section, they now have meatless steak strips, for fajitas.... and above all....MEATLESS RIBS!!! so i started checking out all their products and everything is made from veggies, but labelled as meat products.

has it come to the point where vegetarians dont think their food is cool anymore that they have to label it as the thing they dont like, for it to sound cool?

ah well....2-3 am random thoughts.

thanx to you all for answering though.

i tend to have many random thoughts late night
