Default Focus chip Ebay

:togo: Do these really work. I gather they alter the airflow reading for the ECU and thus the fuel air ratio. Any comments>

I'm with Herrod (and they know more than me anyway :P) It's a stupid claim that modifying a single signal could give you 30hp on a 140hp motor. On the other hand, the basic principle is sound, although an increase of 1-2hp is much more likely, if at all.

Read below for an interesting look at it. It'll never approach having a proper tune done, but it's a good giggle.
