Double your horsepower with a chip? lol No it's fake, it's just a resistor to fool the ECU into thinking the air is colder than it really is. |

well, look at it this way, first, i dont know if our metros even HAVE the capability to have this chip installed. second, it seems like the old addage is always true. "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is" third, he only has 17 feedback ratings. to me it seems like a person who has had previous ebay accounts and is selling crap. and fourth, it would seem unlikely that this so called peformance chip would be sold for such a little amount of money. Just my .02, which due to inflation, is worthless |

In my father's time (40's/50's) it was coils & plugs that "INSTANTLY" added mega power upon install. In my time there were oil additives that did it all to your motor (STP comes to mind). Brad some things never change - if it sounds 2good to be true, it probably is. |

Haha, yep. In this case, yeah....it seemed fake, but my limited knowledge of mechanics led me to pose the question to those of you who might know. |

I got one of the $5 resistors and it did nothing. Don't risk anything you aren't willing to give up. Like money. However, I started adding some mods, below in my signature. I still have 52 mpg combined for my 2300 mile vacation. Cruising at 60-65 mph with the Wife, dog and some luggage. You can "free up" horses by running synthetic oil, new wheel bearings, 0* toe-in, quality tune-up parts, yeda, yada, yada. You still only have 55 HP but it runs easier. The 3 Tech cam and cam gear added the power. The flow through header and exhaust made it less constipated. However, if you go the "street racer" route, (more compression, higher octane, turbo, etc.) every time you put your foot into it... say bye bye to your mpg.

Got 70 MPG?

50 HP, that's like more power than the car has to the wheels... I don't think there's any chip (legit or not) that can do this. |

There's a chip, but you have to install an intercooler and blowoff valve. |

Simply put... There is no such thing. Think about it. If They were real, and GM or Ford could put it in all their cars to have much better power and mpg than Toyota or Honda, they would have done it. These things are all a scam. Every one of them. |
