Default E-Bay "tuned" chips?

I found this on e-bay.... looks too good to be true, but anyone ever try them?

8.5K redline! Speed governor disabled! Vtec from 2500 rpm!

There isn't a knock sensor on the f22b1..... so of course it's "disabled"

when they send you the chip do they send a note basically saying youve been shafted and are a sucker for buying a chip where the picture that represents it has mugen power copy and pasted onto it

Exactly. It has variable engagement for a reason. Why would you want it only at 2500?
