Check the link. Says aNYONE can put this chip in with no mechanical skills(caught my eye

Take a look and let me know what you guys think.
sounds too good to be true.

MMMM count me in...throw one of these in there two http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Parts...=p4506.c0.m245




BTW its a scam all these little chip things they sell for cheap are just little capacitors. dont do a damn thing

 

If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

 

Thanks guys. How lame.

 

That website is hysterical. All they sell are various rip-offs like the Turbonator and universal "performance" crap. It's like going to PepBoys except they have a sales pitch and a crappy return policy

 

Save your money. All those things are is a resistor that you connect in-line with the IAT (Inlet Air Temperature) sensor to the car's computer. By making the computer think that the incoming air is colder than it really is, it will cause the computer to richen the air/fuel mixture and make adjustments to the ignition timing.

You might pick up a few horsepower under very specific circumstances, but you're likely to sacrifice overall driveability and possibly increase emissions and the potential for knocking/detonation.

At least this company has gone to the trouble of using an 8-pin DIP resistor network, instead of a simple colour-coded film resistor enclosed in a block of epoxy. I'm sure someone will look at it and say "Wow - that looks like a computer chip, so it has to do *something*!"

 

According to them my magnaflow cat back will give the following results:
"Gain up to 20HP and 20lbs of Torque!, Fits L4 1.6L Gas"

Amazing! Why aren't I seeing these results These guys crack me up. Ooo Turbonator, thats a must have.
