See this Ebay dealers site - type Galant into the search box and check out the cheap chips offering 10-20hp extra.

Anyone tried these? :inquisiti

well. even if we could chip our cars which we can't... the golden rule is always get your ecu/chip tuned to your cars modifications. buying something online that says it does something and putting it in your car with no idea what it actually does is pretty dumb

i think these work by altering the signal between the maf and the ecu . how can they get it right for every car exhaust / filter combo

With only 2 legs connected looks like just a change of resistor.

I have heard of this before, a guy in work was told +15bhp to a standard 1.2 Punto. I just laughed.

As far as I am aware it keeps the car thinking it cold, more petrol used not an increase at all. :inquisiti

Yip, that's exactly what they do. These 'chips' usually trim the engine temperature reading going to the ECU and fool it into pumping in more fuel. Gives a marginal increase at ninja-high revs, but day to day it makes the the engine run too rich.... Not good.
