Default ECU Chip...what do you think?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1847713757

Is this real: two stages of VTEC, I mean I don't have a VTEC-E engine, or do they mean that at 6 grand the fuel/air map changes? Is this real? If so how hard is it to install? Never done anything with ECUs before.

I smell B/S 15-20 hp from a chip with a SOHC motor....... I doubt it. If you feel lucky than try it ,but I would not recommend it.
