I read through the feedback posted, and this isn't a kit or a chip, it's apparently a wire or a resistor. although the seller or this product doesn't state exactly what it is that they are selling, they are essentially lying, which of course adds to their credibility.

I read through a bunch of them. They all say the same thing, " Resistor sold as chip. Do Not Buy. It's a scam"...what a surprise.

You know what P.T. Barnum used to say,"There's a sucker born every minute.".

Now if we see a Civic racing an STI, we will know why lol

omg what a scam, after I read the first three lines I stopped, theres no way you can get so much power with this "chip" haha

And now I suppose theyre company will say that a cold air intake adds 50hp huh? The companys prb full of ricers and such
