Here you go...
seems pretty substantial... nice case and everything...is it really a whole chip?  and.... and....  NO CHIP!! just a resistor.  The packaging and the contents -- too funny:

That is a riot! Where did they have you connect said "chip"?
It's quite sad as well that they don't even solder the resistor to the wire - just twist the leads around the wire. |

 20 cent resister , $19.80 for the box and a bit of wire , sounds like a bargin , so how many are you going to hold in stock , for the honda guy's of course.

1NZYaris1, I already charged your PayPal account and it's on its way. I heard this performance chip works especially well with Kiwi cars.

That is hilarious. Do you want to go into production on these? We could get Thomas to get them made in Thailand Cheep Cheep. Call them "Mega Nitrous Booster Chips" and then have a second one called "Mega MPG Gain Chip"
For an 8 cent resistor and a 50 cent casing and 50 cents worth of wires for $20 US plus shipping we could make a fortune!

This made me wonder what was under the cover of my supercharger. To my horror, I found that I too had been duped. Doh!!
