Huge performance difference and to my surprise a big change in fuel consumption. Better performance and better gas mileage all at the same time. Very pricey but worth it. Always have to give credit to David for the excellent customer service.

Works great pulls a lot better throughout all the gears. Can’t go wrong buying this chip.

Five stars would go to

Five stars would go to a personal tune for my vehicle. This is a tune that won’t destroy your warranty or engine. Using Sport mode gives you an idea about how much more is available from this engine. In Europe this engine puts out 271 HP and 280 ft lbs of torque from the factory.
Its expensive but probably your best bang for your buck. 🚀

2015 Sonata 2.0t chip install

Having come from the older school days of VW performance upgrades, this chip is like switching from a flip phone to a smart phone. I’ve had GIAC chips, and my last VW with any mods was a 2000 Beetle 1.8T with the APR stage 3 setup with a k04sport Turbo. After spending roughly $3500 on that car, I am getting what feels like more pull, better performance, and no MIL’s. I installed the Uncle chip, HKS plugs, and the oil catch can and immediately got in the car and drove about 3 hours round trip to Orlando. I didn’t notice a single difference in driveability, but a significant notice on the highway. Also, a difference in fuel consumption. I can’t say how happy I am with this upgrade, and with the service/stupid question answering from David. I hope this is the start of quite a few years of happy driving. Thanks for a great product.

40 WHP on the dyno

My dad has a 2014 Genesis Coupe 2.0T R-Spec. He put it on a Dynojet dyno for a base run. Then, while still strapped to the dyno, plugged in the 93 octane Lap3 chip, and gained an instant 40 hp! The dyno guy and my dad were surprised and impressed. So, these do work.

Q: Would I be able to use this on my stock 2013 Kia Optima ?

K5 Optima Store

05/01/17

A: Hi Nick,

Assuming that your stock Kia Optima is the 2.0 turbo model, then yes, absolutely. This product was designed to work on the stock Optima as long as you have the required HKS spark plugs as indicated in the product description.

Thanks,

K5 Optima Store

Q: One chip can be used on a optima and a sonata or is the chip only for optima or sonatas depending on option?

K5 Optima Store

02/12/16

A: James,

This product can only be used on one vehicle at a time, not multiple vehicles.

It is compatible on both the Optima, Sonata, and every other vehicle listed on the product page.

Thank you.

Q: Which plug is preferred more? The hks m45l or ngk 1422?

K5 Optima Store

12/21/15

A: Hi Chris,

As shown in the product description on the LAP3 page, the HKS M45XL plugs are required to be used with the LAP3 chip.

You cannot use the NGK 1422 plugs with the tune.

Thanks,

Q: What octane setting will I have to use if I only have 92 around my area?

K5 Optima Store

06/17/15

A: Hi Issac,

If all you have in your area is 92 octane, we recommend using that and running the 91 octane tune.

Thank you.

Q: Do you need to install a catch oil can for this tune and if so which one would you recommend?

K5 Optima Store

06/10/15

A: Hi David,

Yes we definitely recommend installing a catch can with the tune, as well as better spark plugs. We carry the plugs on our site as well as a few catch cans as well, but will be adding some catch cans to the site this week as we just got a brand new line of catch cans in stock here in several color options.

Thanks,

Q: Why does the ordering options ask what octane settings you want if it comes preloaded with 3 octane ratings?

K5 Optima Store

06/10/15

A: Ed,

This is because we take the time to set it up for you prior to shipping it out. Not everyone has the tools to take apart the chip and change the settings. Most owners use the same octane type when getting gasoline, so we set it up for you so you're all ready to go once you receive it.

Thanks,

K5 Optima Store
