Is this complete BS or what?

Even though the chip doesnt give HP or TQ as claimed, it HAS to do something... Otherwise, why would anyone buy it at all? Speaking of chips, Im hungry now..

Does it have to do something in order to sell it? Short tube intakes are proven to give no HP gain or actually lose HP on Zs, yet people still buy them up here.

I've got a pair sitting in my garage. Thankfully, I got them for free as part of R&D and yes... They provided a loss of around 5 or 6 whp if I remember correctly on the dyno. But you know, all the Honda minded individuals wanna see those perty air filters under the hood attached to them perty chrome pipes!

I'm not sure you even GET a chip...I remember when I bought a Greddy chip for my A4 it cost me something around $500 so for $69.99 you probably just get a big f*ck you in a box after they've already f*cked you.

Meh my APR chip/flash gave me really good gains on my A4.... Infact its the best bang for the buck mod. I guess if you didnt have the 1.8/2.0 Turbo then... it was no doubt a waste of time.
