Question Ebay chips.. crap??

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33597

as the only place it says anything about what vehicle it's for is the auction title, I would be very cautious about this chip. between the 3 cars listed there, there is such a huge variety of engines used that it just screams ripoff to me

they say state ur vehicle model and year after payment so they can get the right chip for your car... i dunno 40$ is a lot of money to waste i could be saving that for the rrm piggyback fund now all i need is 400 more dollars...

well, he does have a legitimate thread that does not copy all the other resistor chip ebay threads. the auction has a different type of system, not resistors, not two wires.

this chip hasn't been discussed on here before, I don't know if you took the time to go look at what his link referred too, but it is something I have not seen on here before

thats my point.. you know they arent gonna use it so why bother? just leave the thread alone the first time. he pretty much got his answer so let this thing just die out
