On Ebay, there's a lot of people selling performance chip that are supposed to add instantly 30 hp, increase fuel economie, etc.

I've read everywhere that those perofrmance chips are just a bunch of crap that does'nt work.

However, does anybody here actually tried it?

exemple of ebay chip: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Performance...%3A1|240%3A1318

it may not be as good they say it is, but does it at least adds a little something?

better off to invest that money in either a good CAI or a set of lightweight pulleys for your first N/A mod. be sure to next time do a search on here to ask any questions cause these have been talked about quite a bit, what they do and dont do and how they do it. in the end, they really don't do any good, like electric superchargers.

Radu at one time had a AEM CAI for sale here at a great price.
