What do you guys think of this on eBay!?!.....Is it too good to be true?.....I have seen other resistors but never an actual chip such as this one. It claims to advance timing and adds more fuel. Check it out and send me some of your expert info on this item please. Thanks

i see ur car is supercharged, but if you think those chips are worth the bucks, then why we need supercharger?

Let's assume it's the real deal, but it will still be a waste of money.
The keyword is 'SET'.
Unlike a SAFC, you can't tune with this thing.
That chip naturally isn't for a supercharged car.
In addition it will also increase your exhaust emissions and fuel consumption because of less air per fuel.
If it turns out that your car is running too rich, you'll actually lose engine power, plus messing up your spark plugs as well.

this chip has no authentication whatsoever.

This is a chart showing the ECU output reading of the Intake Temperature for a Ford Ranger and Honda Civic.


they dont even show proof for our cars.


(whiteflash, if you're reading this thread do you now see why we are all so negative about chips and resistors?)
