Sure I do, along with about about 6 grand worth of other stuff that can get me from 0 to 60 in 6 seconds or maybe less when I can get my tires to hook up before I hit 40MPH.

If you like throwing money away, can you send me so money? I can use that money to fund my K24 swap, something at actualy will make my car faster unlike those eBay "chips"

Like I posted earlier, you can go to Radio Shack and buy an inexpensive potentiometer and wire it into the 5.1 volt wire from the AIT sensor to add the amount of resistance you desire to to increase the volume of fuel to air ratio and increase your ignition timing... Simple modifications like this get a bad rap because of scam artist... You can pick up 30 potentiometers for about the price of a JDM oil cap.... Do you really want me to send you $2.75?

The only noticeable difference was probably when the check engine light came on. I wish these things worked a 10% power increase for a few bucks would be awesome.

They are being misleading by calling it a chip when in reality it's a resister that adds a small amount of resistance to the signal from the IAT sensor too the ECU in the same way cold air does.. Because cold air has a denser concentration of oxygen the ECU adjust the air/fuel mixture by supplying slightly more fuel to prevent misfiring.... Adding a resistor to the 5volt wire from the ECU is a way that you can compensate for the change in the air/fuel ratio change to a more lean mixture when using a free flowing after market intake and exhaust and helps make up for the lack of low end power loss that is common occurrence when doing these two mods not just by adding fuel but also providing more ignition timing advance. It would take a lot of resistance to turn on the CEL. A spark plug reading and scan gauge will provide the necessary data to support what I've said.
