i was just wondering if anyone ever put on one of those chips that supposedly add 20+ horsepower that are CHEAPly sold on ebay. i see they just attach to a sensor, but i was wondering if anyone could tell me if it was a worthwhile purchase or some stupid piece. thanks

To end the debate...
The resistor tricks the ECU into running the car at Open Loop all the time, which the ECU runs a fixed air/fuel map that is a lot more rich than normal. That does NOT add power. Running at open loop is designed to improve cold start and other situations where the engine may struggle for a bit more fuel. That's all it does... does NOT add power... etc. Doesn't do anything to timing, and even if it does (some cars may, depending on ignition set-up)... it'll be very very slight which will most likely be because of the knock sensor or something else. End of these useless guesses... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
