How does this look to you guys?

My friend just dug up this site and showed it to me. Any insight?

These chips are a waste, there is no better alternative than a good old fashioned MP3 ECU flash.

Well i havent seen this one.
But i bought something like that a few years back for my protege. and lol it was basically just a resistor. LMAO

thats awesome buy a resistor for 30 cents and sell it for 40 bucks with some heat shrink around it lol.

but like i said maybe this one is ligit but i hardly doubt it 50 HP!!!!!,, ummm yeah whatever.

No. Just no.

There aren't "chips" for the Protege.

lol read the installation pdf it's a resistor, just like those "chips" you see on ebay.

I just emailed them asking if i could get a stage 2 or 3 performance chip haha, ill post their response when they email me back.

yeah those are a waste.. I got one for my saturn vue.. didn't make a difference. they gladley refunded my money without returning the item though so no harm.

All they do is fake the ecu into thinking the IAT is sucking up 40 degree air all the time & the ecu compensates with more fuel....already too rich getting even richer....nah

I can't believe people are still posting links about these kinda things! Damn!

Could you expand this for the mechanically challenged? (2thumbs)

Hey guys maybe ill make a new one.
Il put a Capacitor instead, sell it for 90 bucks and when you see smoke coming out, it means its working, 200 HP!!!! gains lol,
EFFICENT like crazy,

what do you think? lol

I paid 500 for the GIAC chip on my turbo audi a4. (awesome 50hp gain btw)

There is no way this 70 dollar piece of plastic makes any difference to the N/A p5.

german cars get really good power from chip upgrades i swear lol

And it probably goes in the ecu & does more than providing a constant voltage simulating 40 degree air intake temp too.
