does this actually work?
 
saw this item on ebay. it looks and sounds like (from the description) that it works. does anyone have or know, how this works, and if in fact it DOES? I know its only like 15 bucks, but i dont want to throw that money to waste, better to put it towards gas!!!
heres the link

MurkyRiversTL 03-19-2008 10:49 PM

are you kidding me.... thats such a scam. Im sooooooooooo glad you asked before buying.


NO IT DOESNT WORK.......

in case you didnt read it the first time

by the way im not trying to be mean

JpnSamurai 03-19-2008 10:49 PM

most (if not all) of these chips on eBay don't do much...

heavyjdaman 03-19-2008 10:52 PM

thats what i thought. are there any ways of improving power, without any big changes, like CAI

Aman 03-19-2008 10:54 PM

you get an increase of 20 mpg in your mileage
you get an increase of 65 hp in your power
you get a price of 8.99
are you f*cking kidding me

EDIT: surprisingly he has a 98.7% feedback rate. DOn't know much about eBay, but that sounds pretty good.

it means that people that bought products from him were happy with what they got

MurkyRiversTL 03-19-2008 11:07 PM

yeah but you should also check his feedback. How many of those buyers decided not to leave negative feedback and leave it neutral to avoid scarring their feedback. Its a scam dude.

All mods should be and have been dyno proven. If its not you run the risk of spending 8 bucks for something thas not gonna work.... but hey its 8 bucks

although some people are crying about spending an additional 3 bucks to fill up with premium...

anyway buy at your own risk.

MurkyRiversTL 03-19-2008 11:45 PM

^ nice in case you wanna go rock climbing in your TL

platinum1 03-20-2008 12:03 AM

No, it doesn't work. It'll cost more than this.

jjashaa 03-20-2008 12:29 AM

no comment....

BaByBlAcKtYpE-s 03-20-2008 12:40 AM

for 2.99 you can also get a sticker which adds like 30hp
lol

crazyfool 03-20-2008 12:49 AM

theyve dynoed it "300 times" ...and yet not a single chart.

ChampionFiyah 03-20-2008 12:56 AM

Yea your only gonna get a check engine light with those, you were not actually thinking about buying that right? I hope not. like come on, 100hp for $3.95, lol, what a joke

Unkn0VV17 03-20-2008 04:17 AM

I doubt it, but if you want you can be our test subject. :)

ChrisQ1980 03-20-2008 05:31 PM

What does the chip do that allows them to claim it does all that shit? You have to be kidding me.

AcuraDreamin 03-20-2008 08:15 PM

where do i get those stickers????????? Do the acurazine stickers add any hp??????? I remember when i was 16 (only 5 years ago) and i put a legacy gt sticker on my ride....wow...what a difference

Trackruner228 03-20-2008 08:21 PM

+20 MPG :spit: :rofl: :spit: :rofl: :spit: :rofl: :spit: :rofl:

6MTUA5 03-20-2008 08:28 PM

:what:

Lileasy123 03-20-2008 09:31 PM

When I was 16 I bought one of these for my first car (I was really stupid back then) and all it was was a 10k resistor with instructions to swap the one inside my Mass air flow sensor. I ended up breaking my mass air flow sensor and had to buy a one from a junk yard $80 HAHA I ended up throwing away the resistor. They dont show you a picture because it is a 10k resistor that costs them 4cents at radioshack, then they claim it will gain hp if installed in the sensor. HUGE SCAM!!!

My young, inexperienced freind, let me tell ya how it works:

- People will tell you anything to get your money; they'll lie, cheat and steal. An honest salesman is NOT an oxymoron, but they are VERY rare.

- If it sound to good to be true ....

- If it worked, why would everybody else pay $50 - $100 for just TEN measly WHP?

Save your money. Buy a real product, from a real vendor. :thumbsup:

mcflyguy24 03-20-2008 10:43 PM

:rofl:@65+hp for $8.99. I don't even see how this business can exist with such claims.

BIGTUFFGUY 03-21-2008 01:25 AM

he even went through the trouble of stealing Easton Chang's picture.
