5 quid chips do they work?

[the.bear]

been lookin on ebay to pass time and seen a chip of some description for 5 quid takes minutes to fit with no tools and can give up to 20 bhp and better fuel economy .... i find it hard to believe ..... anyone tried owt like this ?????

 

[berlin]

Don't do it. It's not good for anything, and even at £5 it's overpriced.

 

[dick]

lol

have a guess mate

 

[the.bear]

u tried one like ? i thought for 5 quid even if it doesnt work its worth a go .... but dont want to damage anything eh

 

[chammyman]

yeah mate they are awesome. I had 20 of them in series and I got 101bhp extra at the wheels on my 804cc ren 4.

It will c**k up your engine mate, if you could get 20bhp for a fiver we'd all have them mate.

 

[the.bear]

i know thats wat i thought its just when u see all the positive feedback (over 10000) u wonder is everyone just kiddin themselves or a ebay scam????

 

[Peperami]

ebay scam mate, big time.

 

[the.bear]

cheers then al give that one a wide berth !!!!

You'd get better gains using real chips of the potato kind than using one of those

 

[Peperami]

Or you could buy...

My fanulator (tm)

Glue one to the back of your car, turn on, and it blows air backwards making you faster!

Just £19.99. Proven gains guaranteed.

^^ i dont rate them much, seems to go through batteries too fast

Go out and buy a proper ecu for a few hundred quid.

ive got 2, didnt quite make the claimed power gain, i only got 37bhp extra, not the claimed 40 BHP but allong with my Peco backbox and halfords airfilter ive managed to get 121BHP from a 1.2 16v which is impressive!!



Note: i dont actually have a Peco backbox or halfords induction kit before anyone takes the piss lol

 

[Peperami]

You should try the fanulator(tm) martin!

Bargain gains to be had!

 

[Martin_172]

not worth it in my opinion i could buy 4 chips for that price, thats 80bhp, doubt ur fan moves enough air to give me that sort of gain
