ebay chips
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Parts...=p4506.c0.m245
do these (or any ) "performance chips" really do anything? and is there a downside to using them?

i figured the hp gain was a lie.. but the MPG gain was what i was interested in.. how do these chips "work" do they lean out the engine or something
