I get new listing for the 8 each day from ebay. Constant flood of performance chips with outlandish claims, usually about 10 dollars. Will they improve anything?
Thank you.

Nope. The 8 doesn't even use "chips", but rather data flashes. They're selling resisters or electrical components that they claim increase power by the tricking the sensors that send atmospheric data back to the pcm.

they can be dangerous to your motor as well. there was a thread on here some time back exposing this "chip". it was worth nothing

lol the only way to see if it actually does something is just BUY it! If you can't afford the $10 than you can't afford this car

My mother told me when I was young that if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is, I tend to use that on Ebay :P

Your wallet would be lighter. That might make you go a bit faster.

This thread has a serious lack of Dorito auctions.

with such a critical and complicated tuning map on the 8, why would you want to risk detonation or other issues by using a $10 ebay scam? save your money.

that chip would probably help as much as premixing actual chips in with your gas.

if you really have to ask then i just feel bad for your car.
