   There's been a few posts about these, they are basically resistors that you can buy for about 10p at your local hardware store. The only purpose they serve is to fuck up your engine. Have a search for ebay chips and you'll find some more information on them.

   they are supposed to trick the car into thinking that it is cold.. thereby increasing the amount of fuel injected. On our modern engines the lamda sensor will detect that the mixture is rich and try to correct.
   
   IMO Best case it will do nothing, worst case it will fuck up your engine.
