Just wonderin' if anyone has tried/used these chips. Are they worth the money, or are they just snake oil?

Oh jeeze....Not again....

YES!!! Snake oil! All it is is a resistor that goes inline with the IAT to trick the PCM into thinking the intake air is colder than actual, which richens up the mixture.

You can make your own to try it out for a couple of bucks. Here is my thread on making one. Did not do squat. Read the comments to the mod. It's a complete waste of money.

(dont know where the pics went) If you search for "powerwire" you will get plenty of threads on this.

 

It won't help on a stock airbox. Especially this time of year. If you have a homemade CAI that happens to be sucking in hot engine bay air, then it can make it feel like its not heat soaked. But we are talking about minor minor changes to the fuel map, and frankly, if the pcm thinks the incoming air is too hot, and downtunes the fuel a bit, I wouldn't argue with it because it's probably right.

 

this my friend, is a paper weight. an ugly $69 one that is..in the same boat as an electric supercharger

 

Thanks for the replies, I suspected it was snake oil as they claim to boost power and increase MPG at the same time, doesn't make sense.
