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

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.

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.
