    and the fucking 30bhp chips im sick of seeing them somones obviously still buying that shit otherwise itd stop being advertised. theres nothing more i hate than going through the tuning section of ebay when its full of power chip after power chip for 4.99 that gets you 30bhp, or a stupid electric supercharger its a piss take. why havent they been stopped???

    haha, my m8 bought a super racing chip off ebay, paid more like £30 for it and is actually expecting 20bhp
    
    told him before he bought, not too (he was considering an electric supercharger too)
    
    but he went ahead and got this chip and i dont have the heart to argue with him

    Knock it all you want - look at the guys feedback, and how often he is selling. It's dozens a day at around £4.50 each...
    
    He's making a fat pile of cash. Fair play
    
    Now, all I need to do is somehow shrug off all my scruples and morals and by this time next year I can be a millionaire...
    
    ...wait a minute.
    
    DAMMIT!!

    lolz i just like the bit where they say...
    
    "The more you fit the more you save, its as simple as that, we recommend at least 2 sets per car!"
    
    blatently will get someone buy like 6 of them lol
    
    but i do think what aslot of you guys have said is true, people do buy them and they must make loads of dollas otherwise they more than likely wouldnt be on there as much, i couldnt do it though, must still get a shit load of negative comments and emails i couldnt deal with that

    "up to" is a very useful phrase, they say up to 20 more bhp, but its clearly not true, 20 sounds good and realistic to people who are stupid, where as up to 100 more bhp is clearly a lie to the dumbest of people

    id actually be interested in seeing results from these, they say in the descriptions that peak boost can be like 2psi
    
    2psi boost is possible imho
    
    although id only beleive it if i saw it etc and would personally never buy one

    now lets just apply simple science here, reduce the flow of a fuel increases bhp, something wrong there maybe, i thought it was more fuel at higher pressure increase bhp or am i being wrong
