| Ebay chips are like ebay intakes & many other items. Not worth a sh*t. Most of the chips are bogus. Not backed by any real world tests by any big magazines or reliable sources. If you want a chip look into the big name tuners, they cost more cause they are real. Not the .30 cent resistor slapped into a fake wiring loom. Just my .30 cents...  | |

| Well Club xB needs a guinea pig to test "Ebay chips"
All volunteers must rock a polar white box or it will throw off the test results. | |

| lol!!!! you don't know the Cravin!!!
He is The Cravin!!!!!
anyways, based on what I read, our xB has a learning computer, so no matter if you put that chip, it will sense it later and will adjust everything to normal.
You might want to ask sir Squirrel about it. | |

| What boxes are you looking at? THIS THREAD shows a couple of bogus Chips One a box with probably a resistor inside and another with just a plain resistor. Both items have surprisingly good reviews (mostly about the fast shipping) | |

| I ran an experiment to test these. For the people that really want to know about them ask, I used 2 types during my 3 week test.
Yes, someone got tired of people calling BS about them and not knowing their a$$ from a hole in the ground. I wish people would learn not to give info on products with out first hand knowledge.
Before you boohoo something , try it yourself. | |
