same thing and you don't need any parts for that - just a tuner with proper software to remap a Siemens PCM, shouldn't be hard to find one

I've looked Into remapping myself. It
Can be done but you can ruin your ECU and will have to buy a new one if it happens to go wrong

Yes it is very complicated because the term chip is old. It's now a remap which some people still call chips. Basically a remap is loaded on the ECU through computer software or manually adjusted, but back in the day it was a actual chip fitting into the ECU. You can buy the software yourself (not commercially) to do it but I would not recommend it as if you do 1 thing wrong your ECU will be FUBAR

And I think that link which you have attached is like a German version of the uk bluefin from what I have heard they are not good
