E-Bay! Does anyone know if this is for real???
 

Looking through E-Bay, and wondering if anyone has done this or heard anything about it? Is it real? How well does it really work?

Here is is.

Read the feedback, its a resistor that he is selling:

"no picture because it's a $2 resistor shipped in 40ct envelope"

"Not a chip but a resistor...no impact on performance or fuel consumption!!!"

"NOT A CHIP, This is a resistor!!!!"

All of these quotes are in his feedback

its nothing like what they claim, my friend bought one of those performance "chips" all it was was a resistor that you could buy from radioshack for 50 cents.

i remember hearing that they make your engine run hotter too

thanks....still trying to get a hang on the e-bay thing...will read the feedback like the bible from now on...

thanks again
sounded to good to be true

yeah, you can't pick it up locally to keep costs down.

your buying a resistor that costs $0.99 for 12 of them.

a good rule of thumb for ebay is if you have never heard of that brand, its proabably a peice of crap, and always check what the neg feedback says. and always make sure you know exactly what they are selling. in this case its a "chip" with no pictures of what you are buying.

Are YOU for real?

off topic but i really like the color of your truck lol.

If it sounds "too good to be true"
 

Then it probably is.

Anytime you find a product like this apply this bit of logic.

Auto manufacturers spend hundreds of millions of dollars trying to gain a competive edge over their competition by increasing fuel economy and power. If something that could be sold retail for under a hundred or even a thousand dollars could give them an advantage then everyone of them would be using what ever that is.

Chips, Resistors, "hurricanes", or most any snake oil are just a waste of time and money and an avenue for some flim-flam artist into your pocket.

I'll just have to say...

"Are fairies real?"

Ha ha, just playing.

I bought it and it kicks ass, my gas mileage went up and the power is off the hook. I highly recommend this product to everyone.
