Thornton Chip Tuning

[madfella]

Has anyone here ever tried or heard of Thornton Chip Tuning? They offer their stage 3 for the 1.5L Bronco Sport for $90.00. I’m coming from an Audi S6 which cost me close to $2000.00 to tune so this makes me skeptical.

Hard to believe that for less than $100 you get the claimed gains in power and mpg.
I’ll wait till some guys in this forum try it.
The comments on hard shifting gave me pause.
I’d buy it for the claimed mpg gains.

Most tunes start around $350 and up from reputable tuning shops. I would be very skeptical of tunes below that mark (VMP tuned my Mustang around $450, over 60k miles later and still no issues), especially on a brand new line of vehicles. Tunes start to get toward the lower range after there is a large established market for them because they can set up with generic mods and quick response through email, that isn't the case with the BS.

5 Star been selling tunes for Ford Ecoboost for a long time. They have a lot of experience.

Agree but nothing for the BS listed on their website

Prolly still working it out or they just can’t get their hands on one yet.

They have a tune for the 2L Maverick, which should be the same for the BS BL.

Any feedback on the Thorton tuner? I'm thinking of getting one but dont wanr to damage my brand new bronco sport.

I just watched an interesting video from attorney Steve Lehto on his YouTube channel. The main topic of this video was a lawsuit by an insurance company brought against Ford. The gist of it is the claim was made under the auspices of the State's Lemon Law (which Mr. Lehto specializes in), but since the vehicle was not a passenger vehicle as described by the law, AND had been modified, Ford is arguing the Lemon Law does not apply.

The part you (and anyone considering modified software) begins later in the video. It should start at the right place using the link below:

Don't throw your money away on a Thorton tuner. It is a scam. Price and claims are way too good to be true.
