Default Performance Chip

I got my performance chip for my 2007 Civic Si. Which two are the IAT wires?

The "ebay chips" that alter the IAT signal don't do anything to improve performance.

These cheap-**** eBay chips will only trick your ECU into seeing temperatures and parameter which are not true. Do you know what is going on with your timing, or fuel maps with this chip? I seriously doubt it, unless this chip was programmable by yourself. Otherwise, you are now running a blind tune.

Remove it immediately if it is in fact a cheap eBay chip. Hondata (kPro) is the only way to go with the 01+ Civics.

Whatever they call it, if it hooks up to the IAT wires it is useless junk.
