Anyone ever tried a performance chip/module?
EBAY has'em for $35 and the claim is that add some hp and take about 5 minutes to install and causes the IAT sensor to adjust the ECU which in turn adjusts the air/fuel mixture for increased power.
My question is, does it work? and does it do any harm?

i wouldnt waste my money on one, you can buy the correct resistor at radio shack and accomplish the same thing for a buck.
all it does it trick the computer into thinking its cooler air coming in and adds more timing.
if you are in an area where the gas is borderline, and you add more timing you might get some knock.
