What are these. Has anyone tried it or is it a bunch of bull.

PERFORMANCE CHIP NISSAN FRONTIER 1998-2009 2005 2004 03:eBay Motors (item 280450351159 end time Jan-13-10 01:02:43 PST)

Really....$10 plus shipping?

Hmm, I'm not sure. You pay for what you get so I'm not sure if $10 makes all those claims?

Snake oil.
It's a resistor in a box basically.
They do not work, period.

"Installation of our products will not void your manufacturer's warranty as it is completely removable."

Email them and ask them if it damages your engine or electronics if they warranty that because I'm pretty sure Nissan wouldn't warranty your truck if they knew you slapped in an Ebay "performance chip".

EDIT: Also notice how he sells these wonder chips for every make and model under the sun.
Do you realize how much time and effort goes into developing a true performance chip/product . . . . more than $10 I can tell you.
Honestly I don't know how Ebay lets them get away with it (false advertising).

this^^^ seems like we get one of these "will this thing work?" threads every couple weeks, think we could make a sticky in performance mods titled "the WILL THIS $10 EBAY MOD WORK??? thread" with an explaination like Todd's of how it "works" and why it doesn't work?
