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. The G-Force chip fried it and it cost $1000 to get repaired...

I did everything as they told me and my mechanic ( who had done a full inspection on the car one month earlier and said it was in amazing condition) verified that I did tap into the two wires they tell you to... so just a warning this could happen to you and your car also.

Another heads up to anyone considering that 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) is 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.  No wonder they offer 100% money back guarantee. They make $17.25 off every return as well. 

I asked several time for someone to call me and let me know if they were going to help pay for the damages to my car and I still can't get any reply.
