Ebay 'Power Chip' doesn't work!

WARNING -

If you buy a FreeTwentyHorseMod chip off of ebay, then ask where the MAF sensor is, we will ignore you.

If you buy a SupaMaxiPower circuit off ebay and ask which wires it connects to, we will not tell you.

If you buy a Vtec-Zap-O-Charger resistor from ebay, we will ridicule you, mercilessly.

(This is just a pre-emptive post, it's been awhile since someone asked, so I got it in first .......)

I did the MAF bypass mod and now there's a lot less air resistance in the intake tube.

^^ Ditto for me too, I figured I would buy four 20-hp chips and get 80-hp for under $200 bucks!
