Performance Tuner Chips on ECU

Hi. Is there anybody already tried to install a performance tuner chip? They are claiming that it will add some hp to the stock engine simply by connecting this stuff to the ECU. The best part of this is it won't void any warranty to the electrical system of the vehicle. IS THIS RELIABLE?

The only things I would trust to connect to my ECU are the RRM Piggy back and RRM timing control box.

Thumbs down

Just received the "tuner chip" and to be honest, i am disappointed on its appearance hence i am reluctant to link this on my engine . The "product's installation manual" is instructing to install it on the Intake Air Temp. Sensor (rather than in ECU).
I think I only wasted my dinar!

Hence my response. Never trust some cheap ebay chip that claims 10+, 20+, 50+, 100+ hp gain and MPG... these are total CRAP and will most likely just **** up your car. Everyone on here with 200+ posts gave you negative feed back on this item for a reason...

RRM piggy/timing module, and Works flash are the only options for ECU modifications.
