Ebay chip crap?

[mitaccio]

Wife said I can rechip the car for more power. I found a "chip" on ebay that claims up to 20 hp for $10. Sounds like its a lie or crap. Which is it? What "chip" or computer reprogram should I get if the ebay one isn't for me?

U can get piggyback's and standalone ecu's that can give u that power, they however can cost close to a grand.

Okay well first off, eBay can be a great tool, and it can be a great big TOOL. If you look at the pictures on those auctions you will see either a really tiny box with two terminals or you will see a simple resister jumping two pins of the MAFS sensor. So at that point you are paying 10$ for about 1$ part. Secondly I am a found believer of "You get what you pay for" and "You'll get your money's worth." Pay 10$ and get about 10 days of use. Pay 1000$ and get about 1000 days use. Thats just what I have learned with un-branded parts. But hey if you get it let me know how it works.
