Default ebay racing mod chip

has anyone ever heard of this?!?! does anyone know what it is and how it works. let me know curious if it really works.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...932333969&rd=1

I'm a little hesitant, money is not the issue I don't mind throwing away, what 8, 9, bucks but if it works... hell yeah!

Thanks, Josh

Seriously, if power was that cheap do you think it'd be on EBAY instead of being sold by a legitimate business?

No!!!!!!!!!! What you will get is two resistors, go to Radio Shack and buy it for few cents. You put it in your air sensor and it tricks makes your computer think that it is getting more cold air that it actually does. Your check engine light is going to light up that pretty much all it will do. I will try to find out what value of the resistors you need and give u a color code for it, just so u can see what a rip off it is.

you dont want it... it basically tricks your car into dumping more fuel than it needs.

have you done it? Could youtell me what exactly I need to do and what I need. I'm not to good when it comes to electrical, but I'm no dummy. I took some electronics course two summers ago.
