i think it would be better if you don't do it...if you have doubts
if you really want performence just go with the mods we have on the "mod list" for pure performance
if you don't have the money for it, just keep it stock....until you save more money~
just my opinion~

these are all over the forums lately.

just look at the seller's feedbacks. if it were in fact some miraculous product that increases power and reduces fuel consumption for 20 dollars, he'd have 200 million positive feedbacks and the endorsement of every government body in the world. in which case he wouldnt need to be peddling them on ebay.

but in case you werent talking about ebay miracle chips, there are none. not even reflashes i dont think
