Performance Chips
I found a performance chip on ebay for about $16. It says it gains up to 40hp and 8-10 more mpg. I wanted some peoples takes on what they think of this performance chip.
Thank you

It doesn't work. It's just a resistor to fool a sensor along the intake path, sending false data back to the PCM.
Cheapest method of gain via software is Racing Beat's flash for about $300.

well ill let you know tomorrow, I get my ecu back tomorrow with the flash on it. I'll let you know what I think about it, it's the street flash.
scratch that, racing beat JUST called me to tell me despite the fact my package was overnighted friday, it got there on time but they didn't have time to do it. So hopefully I will have it back on weds. I'm pissed.

You should read around here. You just asked about a turbo, which is a big step from this. There is a ton of information on these forums, search your topics of interest, narrow down your goals & budget, and go from there.
From what I've read, yes, people are generally happy with Racing Beat's flash. You gain alot of HP/$ compared to other N/A modifications. You do however have to mail your PCM to them to have it flashed unless you live nearby. This means not having use of your car for however long that takes.

wow... some of you guys are ******* pathetic with how you tear into people who ask "simple" questions... why don't YOU take the time to THINK about what YOUR saying and realize that not every god damn person who goes on rx8club.com is a ******* rx8 guru... my god you people can be such jackasses. grow the **** up.
then again... i guess we should just assume that any question you may have has already been talked about...
