   They trick the temp sensor into overfuelling the car. Will increase power for the short term but will also cause bore wash and knacker your piston rings, and it probably wont pass an not in future

   You've already got one of these things?
   
   Stick it on. Be interesting to see how long the motor stays right

    Can't leave negative reviews on Ebay anymore, means they can sell these and nobody can complain!

    I cannot believe people consider buying this crap. If something is too good to be true thats because it is.

    I tried one of these once- its not a chip its just a resistor. Once fitted I honestly thought that it had improved power slightly, until I discovered that I had put it to the wrong wire and it wasn't in fact doing anything at all.
    
    See I fooled myself!

    could also check out the electric supercharger for low and high end power!
    would be on par with the time attack skyline if anything ebay said was right!
