apparently not....

if you wouldve searched, you wouldve found that this topic is covered atleast 2+ times a month! To sum it up for you, the chips on ebay are generic maps which all run VERY RICH. There was another member here on h-t that wanted to prove to everything that these "CHEAP" upgrades are a total waste of money. He dynoed his car with the highly advertised tornado and then tried these ebay chips. In both cases, his car lost power!!

THE END/

Not only that but some of these chips disable various sensors which can actually damage your car.

Like the others above posted.. do not waste your time. Reliable horsepower costs $$. Don't be cheap
