I also bought the chip and I was able to instale it, it works great! to insale it your going to have to find the Air Tempeture sensor; if your looking at the engin it would be located at "your" right, back on the right side of the INTAKE MANIFOLD, it's a little plug with two holes where you'll comect the two plugs from your risister, then tape it with some black electrical tape and situate it in a spot in your ingine, be sure to disconect your battery before doing this and then once done obiously reconect, otherwise your check ingine light will come on and stay on until you disconect and reconect, reseting the sensor readings. Hope I was some help feel free the contacte me with any questions.

it's a scam. It's a resistor in a plastic box. It does not affect anything at WOT, the ECU doesn't even listen to the IAT sensor at WOT, and I'd bet that the resistor is probably some random value and far from a calculated value. If anything, it's making you waste gas by making your car run richer than usual at part throttle.

Can you please post up a pic,Im not that good with cars

and yet, he still doesn't listen

. Don't install it....it doesn't work. If anything your car will be getting all kinds of false information and running less than optimum. Any "gains" claimed by people who have it is purely psychological. Yes, I know what I'm talking about. Further try to get your money back - as well, if you do install it. DO NOT replace the IAT with it, as that'll be even worse than wiring it in circuit with the IAT.

FURTHER: THE IAT IS NOT ACTIVE DURING WIDE OPEN THROTTLE, hence, the "chip" will do jack for you at that point.

those things are a hoax man... jsut read some of the feedback on ebay. I personally wouldnt splice my factory harness for something like this which would undoubtibly affedt the functionality of my car. Just a hint of wise advice.

I have to agree send it back and try to get your money back. It's crap if it's not an HONDATA chip and even then unless you are running a turbo or have some serious engine work done (turbo or different cams, valves, throttle body) even the HONDATA chip (which is a true ECU re-chip) won't do you much good as far as gains without some serious engine mods.

Next, try not to buy anything off ebay without asking people on forums first if it's junk or not. It'll save you a lot of time and money!

I *know* it is what we're talking about, there is no chip that has wires coming out of it, unless it's a Hondata or AEM EMS (several hundred to over a thousand dollars!), which don't even have wires coming out of them, they have harnesses. OR they'd just simply be true chips that have to be soldered onto the PC board inside the ECU itself.

Believe me, you got scammed, send it back, if he won't give your money back, you can always go through paypal if you payed via paypal and file a "not as described report".
