iat sensor chip from ebay?

Does anyone have any experience with the performance chips from ebay? The one I have been checking out sounds quite promising. I guess it is a sensor that plugs into the iat sensor.
If any one has any input at all please let me know.
Thanks, Shane

I think it was either Silverstreak or AndyM, (1 of the Big Posters here on FTE), several years ago after I joined, said that no matter what it says, You are gonna have to do some rebuilding and a number of others things before something just "plugs in" to give that much gain.

I agree with cjben, and other "Big Postmaster's" will tell you the same thing.

All those 20 dollar chips are nothing but a paper weight or garbage if you prefer.

if you really want that chip go to radio shack and buy a 10 cent resistor. thats all those are. they trick the ecu into thinking that the air is colder thus injecting more fuel.
