Hi,

I m from Costa Rica, can anybody tell me if this chip really works?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/REAL-PER ... ccessories

I know that is hard to belive that a 4g15 can reach 130 hp, only with a chip, but can I get some hp`s from this.

thanks,

Looks pretty weak to me, the whole information part about it doesn't really tell you how it works. But hell for $25 its worth a shot, if it works like they say then why complain?

Don't waste your time because the factory computer is much better at doing it's job that a box that is screwing up the MAF signal back to the ECU. In this way you have no idea what it is going to do to your engine. Not worth your time nor money. Complete scam like all other products in this category. Makes a funny read through though. :lol:

It's not a "real" chip. It's a 5 cent resistor in a box. All it does is take your maf signal and run it though a resistor to make the ecu think there is less air coming through so it puts in less fuel making you run lean. Leaning out a mixture is a good idea if you can do it properly with ecu tuning. Slapping on a resistor that changes the mixture the same amount at all levels is a bad idea. Do not buy this, it's a ripoff and it won't work correctly.

I keep mine on the Number 2 setting. Here's a scan of the install instructions:
