Here is what you do...

Buy the chip, but don't install it... Bring your car to the dyno and see what it makes for power. Install the chip while the car is cooling down. Dyno again. When you make no extra power, demand your money back for the chip and the dyno. When they say to go screw you can take them to small claims court. When you lose due to a stipulation in the fine print, you can make another post on here about how you lost almost a $1000 over these dumb ebay chip scams.

 

i tried one of those chips, it said the same, 40 hp for 10$. didin't work. the check engine light turned on and i didin't get any hp. i got a cold air intake, k&n, some bosch performance spark plugs, some performance spurk plug wires and i'm happy with that.

 

i also agree not to do it. But it's only $16 go for it..... just think about it $16 for 40hp if it worked we all would have one already. but we dont so that tells u sumtin.

 

i have the jet chip sitting in my trunk or somewhere around my house lol. If the computer system learns the chip after a couple of months then you are saying that you would have some performance increase for a few months until everything resets. if that were the case then all you would have to do is reset the battery, and install the chip until the system learns it again. BUT i believe on the other forum it showed like a 1 whp increase on the dyno. I could have mis read though it was a while back.

When I had it on I felt a lil better pickupin acceleration but like they say, the butt dyno doesn't really mean jack. If i had the money I would do the dyno tests but they are expensive around here. Anyway I took it off because I was afraid it was somehow fry my ecu and after reading more about NGC, it makes sense that it wouldn't work.

The ebay "chips" are just resistors (i think thats what they are called) you can get them anywhere (I saw them at radioshack)for about 25 cents. Don't do a damn thing, so don't waste your money. A friend of mine (different car)bought one to see if it worked, and like stated above, it just pulled up a CEL.

Take your girlfriend to a cheap *** restaurant with that money at least you might get lucky in the end, with the chip you'll just get regretful feelings.

this talks about the AIT mod, the TPS mod, The "EBAY" chips.
they dont work especially in NGC neon.

 

You cant buy enough parts to gain 40 hp on a 2ndgen, let alone a 16$ chip work. Sorry, I know its a big let down.
