Default Ebay mod chip

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33597

This is something a friend showed me... I personally fear ebay products... Anyone heard anything good / bad about this? I dont buy the 35 hp claim but hey. Any info would be awsome.

Thanks

no this does not work, do a search and you will see it has been brought up many times before.

Those are notoriously rip-offs... but if you're willing to chance wasting that little amount money, it could be an interesting experiment, haha.

Just don't count on anything good to come of it.

It's only crap unless you use it with the Turbonator. Then you will haul some serious a**

I'm still looking for a genuine USDM "turbonator" emblem for my speed grill... MUST BE EXC+/MINT-!!!!

these things do work but its not guaranteed safe for your car...

then again powerchip companies claim that there chips are safe because it is programmed to stay within ECU regulations...

so yes, they do work.... but hellno that chip is not gonna give you 30hp plus.... itll just spit more fuel to the engine and possibly make you rev higher than normal.

most chip companies do not talk about the MPG, they know it can possibly eat up more fuel... also some chips say if installed, you must upgrade your fuel to 92 octane....


look closely at the sellers..
