Hey, Im new to this site, i just bought a yellow MSP 2003.5 about a month ago and i love it. it is stock and i'd like to start some stuff on it. i was looking at some Unichips or other mod chips. is that okay on my engine as a first upgrade? or what would u suggest, its got alot of low end torque stock and i'd like to add hp first but i dont know. Where is my ECU located in my car? i cant seem to find it. Maxxpwr

a walzer dealer, i saw it on carsoup. i found it for 14,500 w 35,000miles, it had some aftermarket 18in crome rims of some company that doesnt exist anymore aparrently and ive never heard of them, but there not bad, i might trade em in and get nicer ones.

first off welcome. Second click here for local people/info and help Minnesota forum (http://www.msprotege.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=92) Do a search for ideas on what to mod first.

happy modding!

The stock exhaust is a bottle neck, at least the mid pipe anyhow. That's a good place to start and will go well with a Unichip or other boost raising mod. An upgraded intercooler and piping is a needed as well.
