20$ ebay chip for air induction...

[joshyewahh]

ok so i found this weird little chip on eBay that apparently increases horse power. it plugs into one plug spot in your air intake. not sure if this is the slightest bit truthful or effective.

has onyone ever tried one of these? if so did it work at all?

dont waste your money.

you will never get that $20 back. Ask yourself this: If you could get upto 20HP from this magical $20 part wouldn't everyone do it? "government regulations" LOL

The unicorn chip is far superior and retails for $1.99

man if you good with a soldering iron buy like 5 of them and join them all together. then plug it in. you should get about 100hp atw extra. fully sic one wheel skids then bro

[joshyewahh]

i was just curious...

[OFF T4P]

lol unfortunately they do fark all. Its just a scam to get your money dude.

Got a pretty definite answer I would say.

i love how down the bottom they even make up a table to compare the power and cost with other mods lol

Sad thing is thousands have sold - WOW.

[joshyewahh]

i think its rather funny how they think their 20$ mod can out do a 100+$ mod...

Well, that's not the greatest way to look at it.
I can spend $40 making an air intake that some people charge $300 for...
It will still do the same job.

Love it how the ebay description says 20hp and the packaging says 15hp... Awesome!

They then also talk about how the way it works it by bypassing restrictions placed on the ECU by goverment regulation, but also say it's 100% street legal.

And their "Guarantee" is great.

I Guarantee you could re-claim this ‘locked up’ Horsepower.

But yeah... these things are am absolute load of crap and I'm surprised how many people get them.

[joshyewahh]

i agree. i made a 30$ cold air intake on my old lancer coupe, and it worked a treat
