Garbage. Discussed in quite a few threads.

Just wondering if anyone has ever tried out these Performance Chips that you can get on ebay such as these:

Performance Chips Link 1

Performance Chips Link 2

I have never really needed one and have always been sketchy about Performance chips, but when I read the comments that users post, they say they are seeing a in crease in power and some fuel mileage. For Cost that they are, maybe worth trying but figured I'd ask if any other have tried these.

didnt you hear?....everything ebay promises comes true. seriously tho those chips will add as much power as stick on fender vents, just keep the 20 bucks and put it towards something thats proven to work. (intake,exhaust,etc.)

I could of sworn we went through this discussion before ... the eBay chips are nothing more than a resistor, not worth it as they will cause more problems for you in the long run and defiantly do not do what they claim to do, remember you get what you pay for.
