YOU SHOULD NOT TYPE IN ALL CAPS. IT IS CONSIDERED YELLING ON THE INTERNET, AND IS JUST RUDE. IT MAKES YOUR POST HARD TO READ. ALSO, THE SEARCH BUTTON IS YOUR FRIEND.

Not sure if you're speaking of any particular one but there are some $20 "chips" on ebay you need to stay away from.

sct or any similar tuner is the best single mod you can do for your car. first mod I did and was very happy. firmer shifts, no speed governor, and if tuned properly better MPG

dj pizm, if you're speaking of the ones advertised on eBay for $20 to $70, they're a huge waste of money. They consist of nothing more than a 25-cent Radio Shack resistor that fools the PCM into thinking the intake air charge is cooler than it really is, making the PCM add fuel and timing. They're a BAD idea.
