performance chip!! - Page 7 - Toyota Yaris Forums

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!

you're forgetting:

packaging
branding
patents/copyrighting (legal reasons)
the sticker that is on the case

not trying to burst your bubble but say goodbye to more than 75% of that sweet overhead.....

not trying to burst your bubble, but he was joking. And scamomatic, inc. doesn't tend to care about branding and patents/copyrights. But you're right, the sticker and packaging bring it up to a dollar.

Thanks. It a shame when the obvious needs to be spoken by a third party for a joke to be understood. At least you and I are laughing

How much did you spend on the thing? Maybe you should sent it back and demand a full refund including postage and say the one they sent was faulty, it only had a cap in it!

andruboz · 02-26-2009, 09:15 AM

ooh... that fancy new chip costs so much more cause it has 3 leds and an old eprom they bought from a electronic salvage place.

actooly, i'm thinkin the led's are photochopped. that looks like the 33k on the lower left..

JBougie · 03-21-2009, 03:49 AM

No way. The fancy new chip is so much more because this one really works!
