I doubt it would be worth the time wasted to put it in the ECM much less test it.

Throw it in the garbage.

Maybe use it for target practice?

Could you do a craft with it?

Put it on a stick and use it as a back scratcher?

Whatever you do, don't waste your time putting it in your car. You will get more enjoyment out of a fresh coat of tire shine.

Might be interesting to read the chip to see the actual programming, but I'd be suspicious of the advertised gains. Also appears to have a socket, so could be used as an adaptor for use with a custom eprom or emulator. I'd say its worth about $25.

Try it, it only takes a few minutes and it may do something, the chip you have is the stage 2. You can always go back.

It is a G1 adapter which means it plugs into the computer and your stock chip pugs in on the side. Both chips are used the jet chip runs the engine programming and the factory chip takes care of the limp home features.

I'd hold onto it as a spare in case theres a problem one day, or you need it reflashed itself to play with.
