ebay "speed chip"

Do the resistors that are being sold on ebay as "speed chips" really work? They are supposed to go between the IAT sensor and supposed to fool the ecu to think that the air is colder than it really is. If they do work, are they bad for your car???

It's a joke. If you really want there's an expensive one with a **** to adjust the hp levels. Fooling the computer to add more fuel won't really accomplish anything (well you'll waste more gas). There's more involved in tuning air/fuel.

Do you really think you will gain a whole lot of HP by puttin a little resistor or 2 in your engine?

I dont think the ECU really goes off the IAT THAT MUCH for its A/F ratios, I think it uses MAPS numbers primarily.

But ya, I've tried it, doesnt work.
