Default Anyone try this?

I was looking around ebay and found this

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...link:middle:ca

Is this BS? or does it actually work?

take it easy on him now... look, everybody and there brother makes these things. there hoping hte psychological effect of you doing something to your car making it faster making you think the car really is faster when it IS NOT. the truth is, none of them actually work. they're just taking $25 of your money and laughin their @$$'$ off.

Be the first on your block to try it, then let us know how it works.

i would suggest to stay away from any of that kind of stuff...i've never seen anything like that work, plus if it did work it would be a lot more than 10 bucks

I would like to open the box up and take a look at the components inside, if there are any.
A speed chip that only uses two wires? The ends of the wires are just bare wire without a connector of any kind, yet no tools required? No splicing wires? What are the wires supposed to plug into?
Of course it won't voidmy warranty if there's nothing in the box.

I think I'd gain more horsepower by throwing a bottle of STP gas treatment in my gas tank.

its a resistor, usually for the IAT, on an older car you could use it on the ECT....makes the car think its colder outside, so it adds more fuel.

and no splicing wires... i'm guessing itprobly uses thosejunk scotch-lock connectors.

Wow, what a joke.This thing looks andmost likelyperforms like cr@p. Its a black box with 2 wires sticking out of it, and that stupid label on it. Remindes me of Napoleon Dynomite, when Kip buys that supposed time travel machine off the internet! Has anyone else seen that movie? Very funny!

Well, technically a resistor doesn't fit the definition of a chip. Sounds like false advertising to me. If I buy one, can I sue the guy for all he's worth? Or my ten bucks back? Which ever is greater.
(just kidding obviously)
