Hi anyone think this worth anything? have heard ebay chips cost power, this one any different? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...193706402&rd=1

i wouldnt trust it. looks too good to be true

ringer4x4 11-20-2007 03:08 PM

the fact the seller is in Hungary and offers a 10 yr warranty ...makes me a little skeptical.... been through that already ebay sellers offering warranty... part failed refused to honour the warranty..and there was nothing i could do about it as past 90 days...warranty was for 2 yrs

Junk.

TrailRateThisFx4 11-20-2007 03:31 PM

looks like something i built in a tech class i took back in high school....pure junk if you ask me

Fx4wannabe01 11-20-2007 04:13 PM

yea...all you do is get yourself a screwdriver, and turn that knob up for more power!!! It's like a banks six gun shooter.....but uses a screwdriver. hell yea.

Brit-ranger 11-20-2007 05:02 PM

Its from Hungary and it does not come with the screwdriver,......lol

its just a resistor, that makes the ecu think its colder outside then it realy is. upping the timing ( to an extent knock sensors will overide) and ritchening the fuel ( to an extent 02's will override)

so yes it may work alittle bit..


but i wouldtn buy anyhting from anyone outta the country and you can make your own for 5bucks

JOSH

Just the latest in a long line of auto-garbage.

There is only one way to increase power electronicly. And that's through the PCM/tune.

btw, I've got a bridge for sale. It's only $99.95 Anyone interested?

Absolute junk!!

ringer4x4 11-21-2007 03:25 PM

they emailed me back said it's a resistor based product and have sold a million of these since 1994...first one i have seen that wires to both iat and o2 sensors...not that probably means much

GearBoxKevin 11-21-2007 08:18 PM

BS...at most 10hp and thats pushen it, and what about the long term effects on the cats with the over enriched fuel mixture. Id put my money it to a K&N instead, or modified my intake before i would buy this.

ringer4x4 03-31-2008 08:20 PM

another ebay hop up product? just plugs into cigarette lighter and performance increase! lol http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Impro...em220217272621

Well the first ebay link was removed, so I guess they found that crap.

The second one though.....that takes the cake....even more then that stupid tornado or the chip thin with 2 wires....LOL

So that little POS you stick in the lighter socket does all of this?

Improve your Fuel Economy (Gas Mileage) by 10 to 30%

- Boost your engine power
- Improve engine starting
- Extend your battery life
- Decrease power loss from the use of an air conditioner
- Improve your headlight and audio performance
- Decrease hydrocarbons in exhaust
- Reduce static electricity

They could have stopped at adding HP, but they HAD to start adding on other complete BS items.

Adding power to the electrical system and decreasing hydrocarbons in the exhaust......that's like saying changing your rad coolant will prolong the life of your tires.

People that buy this need to be removed from the Gene pool.

"-Reduce static electricity"

Wouldnt fabric softeners do the same thing?
