Those "chips" are a completely useless waste of money that will make your car run worse, not better, and suck more fuel. All it is is a cheap $0.30 resistor dressed up as a performance "chip". It fools the car into thinking it's always pulling in very cold air so it will dump more fuel and run too rich. There is absolutely zero performance to be gained and it most likely will lower your MPG and cause a loss of horsepower, not a gain.
TLDR: Don't install it it's a total money wasting scam.

Every single "ECU chip" is a complete scam for our car. At best it's the same as taping a couple $100 dollar bills to your ECU, at worst it can fry your $1,800 ECU. Our ECU is too smart to be fooled into doing anything more than a few miles, and the OEM tune is already close enough to perfect that the ham-fisted approach of trying to fool it in a narrow set of circumstances while crippling it in the rest is a recipe for engine destruction.
