Cough ... Crap Cough cough ricer. I hate these ebay craps what a bunch of flippin dill holes selling a POT with a plastic casing for 30 bucks.

Because they do absolutely nothing! That's all there is to it. Anyone can say it's dyno proven and make a fake sheet. Don't you think everyone and their mother would have one if it was true? Around $30 for 35hp isn't going to happen, especially on a Solara....

ok lol calm down these things really get you mad huh? well that is true but i dont kno much about these things so i guess i fell for it, hmm i guess ill just return it.

[DjMoffs]

what about the CAI's they sell on there and air filters and what about that round steel thing???

If you allready bought it try it out and write a definitive review to help other car noobs it would be a cool thing to do. The cai is good sense you don't have a MAF you can go the ebay root. The round steel thing or tornado that is soposto spin the air does nothing don't buy that crap.

[DjMoffs]

whats a MAF? and i guess i will put the chip in just to give a review

[Biggi_e]

im sure if you did some research you can find out all the answers to your questions instead of gettng flammed for this. its not hard to search on the net.

mass airflow sensor/ meter,something that measures the ratio of air going in so as to provide optimum numbers for air -fuel ignition. i think
if u decide to go the cai way, u'll definitely wanna get a maf to go with it since i would think these numbers differ.
but ------ search, lol. there is TONS of stuff out there on appropriate (read proven) ways

I got some beach front property in AZ for sale and it's going real cheap...

u know i find it very surprising though that the seller has so much positive feedback for all the chips. of course most of it says something like 'fast shipping' but i figured if these really sucked, there would be negative feedback from pissed off people. i only really saw one...go figure?
