20 HP "CHIP", what are you takes on this thing??
hey guys,
forgive my stupidity here, but it only cost $2.
does this thing actually add anything to our cars, or is it stricktly bogus?!?
i'm guessing it's just a resistor or something like this, anyone know?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2450731585
thanks for any info guys!
p.s. also, if it is just a resistor, can we just make it ourselves??

Hey, thanks, and no I don't believe it all.. but I do appriciate a better understanding of many things.
Do you have any info to back up 'why' it doesn't do anything?
I'm not looking to insult each-other, just for answers.
thanks,

Directly from the modification FAQ:

They are timing advance resistors. Basically, it tells your ecu that your intake is recieving colder air.

NO. The ECU only uses the air temp sensor as a reference to ensure that all it's primary readings are within range. Changing this resistance will not get any HP gains.
Don't even bother with them.
