Does this Chip really work?

Worst scam I have seen in awhile.

If you DO wanna have some fun, look into something called a Sprintbooster.

Fun little gadget that fools ECU into opening full throttle at only about 1/2 pedal.

No hp increases, but if you wanna feel like you have been chipped, try it.

Its a lot more than 20 bucks though. If you are interested, they are always popping up on the forum for sale used. See if you can snag one that way first.

His wife crazy
I just love the picture of what you are getting. A black box, with 2 wires coming out of it, 2 wire taps and a zip tie. I wonder what they have the buyer tap into to power the unit

I really liked that: "**Do not be fooled by competitors claiming 70, 100, or even 300 HP. These numbers are complete fabrications! It is physically impossible to attain such extensive horsepower or fuel saving gains using this same technology. When you purchase from us you get the same performance AND fuel savings with legitimate gains! ?" Are they serious?

Wow this is excellent just what everyone wants, more power, fuel savings and
there are over 500 units on Ebay tailor made for various different cars. This company must be a reputable tuning specialist.

I wont go extra large at Mc D's tonight, I will spend the extra money on this.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PERFO...item19b97d90d4

Complete and utter http://search.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_W...rsportsQQhtZ-1

The claims made by these adverts are criminal
