Theres no such thing as some magical chip that adds 20hp for $10. You have to learn about something called 'market hype'. Not to mention just flat out lies. Turn the ads section in any car magazine and read the add "SUPERCHARGE ANY CAR FOR $69.99! 35+ HP!" If that was true..you'd see that mod listed in everyones signature. Because wow..$70 for 35hp would be fucking insane. $2/1hp. Mm.

glad to know im not the only one that doesnt believe all that bullshit about 20hp with this $5 chip and build a turbo for only $69

Am I to understand that some of you actually believe that $20 Intakes and $20 chips will each add 20hp??

LMAO I'm not the type to make fun, I've been there(well sort of, I didn't understand much about cars two years ago, but hell even then I knew a $20 chip was NOT going to add 20hp! Jeez!!) but anyway, how you possibly take an ad like this seriously?:

Hi I'm Stacy, thanks for looking at my auction . I've been into cars since I was a little girl. Guys have always liked talking to me about them, which is really fun. Sooooo I was looking for another way to take advantage of my love for the automobile. Then I found Speed Seeker. Here's how. My boyfriend (ex boyfriend LOL) Jake liked to race. One day he got spanked by this cute guy Chad, who had a slow looking Integra. I mean, it had a skinny stock exhaust pipe and stuff. It was a real sleeper. After that, Jake had to have a Speed Seeker for his Camaro (he was SO spoiled). I helped him install it, and we both couldn't believe how easy it was to hook up. I can do some stuff with cars, but I don't want to mess with soldering! We didn't have to do any of that with Speed Seeker. It just plugs right in and BOOM, more horsepower. Long story short, I knew that these would be good to sell .

Don't those $20 chips just retard your timing? Also, the Hypertech is a very general burn, and you could get a more specific burn for less money. I believe it is SCT that does the best???

LOL it's so sad, it's funny! I should write back "If I buy your chip, do I get to spank you? and would you help me installing it (preferably in the back seat? "

The saddest part is:

I can do some stuff with cars, but I don't want to mess with soldering!

Even by just opening the Hood I get my hands full of grease usually, so "she" doesn't want to mess with soldering because it's too "icky" or something?

Usually they Advance Ignition Timing and lean out the Fuel/Air Mixture. Dangerous things to do without trial and error. The $20 "Chip" in 99.9% of all Ebay scams is a Resistor that's connected to the air temperature sensor, tricking the EEC into thinking the air coming in is colder, and therefore advancing the Timing. Usually the computer will make up for that slight advantage in other ways (richening the fuel mixture, etc) so the 2hp you had gained are lost anyway.
