This has been coming up more. Some scam that does nothing. Avoid it like the plauge.

Re: what isthis Ebay crap?

It's not a chip. It's a 10 cent resistor that you use to fool the ECU into thinking the intake air temperature is lower than it really is. This causes the ECU to change the timing and fuel mixture slightly. Unfortunately this means your engine will essentially always run rich and any power gain you may see would be the in the 2-3 hp range, if you're lucky. The kicker though, is he charges $2.95 for shipping and handling but sends it by US Post with a 37 cent stamp.
