    its worth 10 cents (serious) and they sell it to suckers on ebay for like $20 and it does absolutely nothing to your car

    You supopsedly wire it into the IAT sensor wire from the MAF. Its supposed to trick the ECU into thinking theres more airflow coming into the engine then there really is. The mod doesnt work, its retarded, therefore only retards should buy it thinking its going to work :P

    If I owned a dyno Id dyno test with and without the "super chip" aka $.10 RadioShack resistor to prove it does not work. But alas, I dont own a dyno :(

    Exelent writeup. have you done this mod to your car? If so, does it really help power that much? Any additional info you can give would be nice.

    Thanks!

    dont worry about it man. do some research and you will see it doesnt work. i think in the long run, it will hurt your engine too.

    Save your $20 for the "ebay power chip" and get a couple can of NOS octane booster...you'll get more power out of that. 8)
