    100% JUNK! All those "chips" are is simply a resistor that changes the air intake temperature reading to the ECM, so it richens up the fuel mixture all the time. Its NOT a chip by any stretch of the imagination, and keeps your car in "warm-up" mode all the time, hurting gas mileage and emissions.

    <_< I was not able to find a website for the manufacture. Not a good sign.

    I have never bought one of these but have seen them around for other cars alot. Was thinking it would be cool to have a so called "boost" for when that GT is egging you on at the stop light! :)
