You honestly would consider a $9 chip to be put in your AMG car ??? I mean the sounds of it alone is already an answer !!!! How much work. research, much less tests could have been spent on this so called chip if it sells for $9 !!!!

Read in the posts , companies that have been in business for years , still cant claim 50HP on their ECU reprogramming !!! and theirs cost $900 !!!

If any members here had in fact tried this $9 thing on their cars , they should be banned.

Actually its not a chip its a resistor that fools the ECU into thinking its receiving more air so it delivers more fuel or vica versa. Anyways you can pick up the resistor / aka chip for 30 cents at Radio Shack.
