Perf Chip

I've been doing some reseach on replacing the chip in my 00 Max to add some HP. Has anyone found one they like? I found one for $20 on Ebay. Hmm, you get what you pay for right?

Thanks!

The $20 one on ebay is the best deal. It'll give you about 15hp...18 if you put the stickers on your window... 22 if you put them on your door panel right behind the wheel well.

FYI... this is from the 4th Gen FAQs...

What are all these 20+ HP chips I see on ebay?

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

Do they work?

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.
