I was screwing around on ebay the other day looking at chips for my 3gee and of course came across the million and a half cheapo chips they have on there. I was wondering if anyone has actually used one and can tell me anything about them. ONLY IF YOU HAVE PERSONALLY USED ONE!!! I don't want some crackass idiot just sayin, no way man those are crap, when you don't know what the hell you're talkin about.
Here is a more expensive "cheap" chip.

They are a joke, the most those "performance" chips do is up the amount of fuel and make it seem like your pushing the pedal to the floor.

I have never used one or ever plan to. For $35 why don't you just buy one and find out instead of listening to others. I'm sure the company will refund your money if it doesn't work as advertised. Or maybe not.:rant:

well, all that "chip" consists of is a variable resistor. maybe a dollar at radioshack. it even explains how it works. if thta thing really did outperform a JET chip, odn't you think they would put them out of business?

you don't have to buy a piece of shit to know what it smells like, so don't get all pissy and think that there are enough dumbasses around here that would purchase a $1 pot, $2 of wire, and a $5 project box all soldered together on ebay for what is it, $30? if we wanted to waste that money, we'd get some NOW and mugen stickers for our cars.

if you want to change that signal properly, you simply MOVE the IAT sensor to the plastic part of the intake piping, about 6 inches from the throttle body. you have to extend the wire about a foot, but at least you don't have your sensor getting heatsoaked and you don't end up running on the lean side because of it.
