if it worked don't you think that would be the first thing all of would have done????

its a scam...it gives you extra power for 10 mins until the ECU learns and corrects for it...

they also sell spray to cure baldness, would you buy that?

An actual "chip" that plugs into your car's computer works best when it's dyno-tuned. The ebay things are just junk. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. :tap:

.....this has been explained a Bazillion times.........

The chip fools the ECU into thinking the air coming into your engine is very cold(colder air is more oxygen dense)....since your ECU is reading a dense oxygen level, it dumps more fuel into your combustion chamber even though there really isn't any more oxygen in the air.....so what you end up with is a car that runs rich and eats gas......
