performance chip!!

ok.. i know what you all say about ebay performance chips.. but I was reading this..
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/A-PER...Q5fAccessories

Then I thought.. hmm.. let me look at his feedback score... wow.. no negatives.. let me read the feedbacks

"really works"
"amazing"
etc. etc.

So then I read 30 day money back guarantee..

Now I'm wondering. This has to work.. is it bad for your engine and how does it actually work? What do you all think?

.. dont be sarcastic.. im not a gullible person.. dude.. your not being smart.. if you think 250 people bought this product and say it didnt work... he has 100 percent feedback.. NO ONE thought it was a bad deal.. im sure some car enthusiasts bought some of them for the heck of it.. or there had to even be one skeptic.. but no.. nothing.

um I can easily sell myself 200 of my own products. Feedback scores don't mean jack. These things do not work. Save your money.

".. dont be sarcastic.. im not a gullible person.. dude.. your not being smart."

And yes my friend your are. Read what you wrote in your first post. If your so sure it will work then buy it, then find out it doesn't work and then get your refund. If it works I will promptly crap my pants and apologize.

well.. i mean for a 30 day money back guarantee.. why not? i dont want to risk hurting my engine.. i heard a lot of those chips lie to your ecu and give different readings then are present.. such as air temp and etc. otherwise i would go for it.

Our ECU is extremely hard to crack and no one has manage to have success with it. With a learning ECU even if there was a change the ECU would work its way around said chip if it were to work in the first place.

REAL PERFORMANCE CHIP CHEVY TAHOE 93-09 GAS SAVER (#260295765593)

Super fast shipping added horsepower great throttle response no mpg gain???

REAL PERFORMANCE CHIP CHEVY SILVERADO 2008 FUEL SAVER (#260297071081)

And we know he's a fast shipper, i would check into it some more bro, wait a few days after installing so you can give him a fair rating on the product, and if you do try to return it see how he does with the refund, the posting looks kinda shady cause he refers to the " auction listed above" vs a specific model in the actual product description.

I can't stand it -- I'm going to buy one of these just to be able to prove it doesn't do anything.

I need all of these:

If this is the same as what they normally are !
it is only a diode that is placed between twoo wires ,
and it tricks the ecu into thinking engine is cold ,
resulting in higher fuel burn hence more hp.
something like that anyway.

Lol Cali, see if he gives ya a refund when you tell him it's a hoax.

quote " engineered specifically for all years of the auction vehicle in title" quote he don't even specify. it's a magic chip .

you will not need to use premium fuel, although it does help our chip work even better
OK, so.... do we have an engineer on here that can open it up and analyze the circuit? Just for fun?

1NZ is correct they are principally a diode that tricks the ECU. However will not trick ours? Garm I'd say open it and take pictures for me but then no refund. Honestly I think this one is just a loop that goes into place maintaining the circuit without doing a damn thing.
