    Should I Or Should I Not

    Should I buy this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1995-...QQcmdZViewItem or should I not buy it and if I did buy it how would I install it?

    NO!!!
    Those are crap, all they do is put a resistor on your MAS wiring.
    Which, over time, will end up destroying either your MAS or ECU.

    DONT DO IT!

    This is a joke right? Didn't someone just get harassed about these in the 8G section?

    That is just another over-glorified resistor. If you buy one, the directions will tell you to wire pins 1 and 3 (i think) to the green wire on your IAC
    Which, is just an internal resistor on the chip.
    The only one that really works is the JET V-Chip

    I usually don't get anything that is truly important, or would effect anything important on my car off of ebay... Like a K&N filter, or some things that are brand new, and of a name brand might be OK, but anything else beyond that, you are taking a huge risk. Usually their is a reason its being sold on ebay for very cheap... I have bought body pieces, and other small things for cars off of ebay for my other cars, but nothing too important.
    A ricer is someone who believes that lights, stickers, useless parts, stupid driving and any other abnormal or dangerous driving habits help them in their need for speed or attention.

    Too bad there isn't any performance chip for the 7G

    yeah, but most cars dont have a "chip" for them

    The eclipse guys are lucky, and have the EPROM ecu on some models. That is really the only chipable mitsubishi

    I think I will do the Jet chip thingy sounds pretty good to me. they recieve your chip then just modify it to be better and faster which is good I suppose. Or do they just send you the jet thing with a new modify chip?

    The only chip you should ever get is an EPROM chip and only some 95 Galants came with EPROM ECUs. Even said, I dont know if companies will be able to read the Galant chip and reprogram it.

    I have an EPROM chip from Keydiver for my Eclipse EPROM ECU and its great!

    If you are NA, dont worry about getting any kind of chip.
