Default Question about Performance chip

I found this on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...B:EOIBSA:MT:11

I'd like to hear some opinions on this - will it void the warranty? cause any damage to the motor and/ or other parts? If not, for $35 and up to 35 hp - how could you go wrong? Even if it does void the warranty couldn't you just replace the existing set-up if something does go wrong? It says it takes less than 10 mins to install and no special tools are needed. How will the dealer ever know?

i wouldn't even consider such a thing....remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is....

The Scion tC computer doesn't even use chips. It's all false. There are no computer chips for the Scion tC.

It is not a chip, it is a resistor, and there has been a lot of cases where this damage the engine.
