I've seen them before on ebay so many times and I was wondering if anybody has any experience with them.
Here it is: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/20BHP-MOD-CHI...1%7C240%3A1308 They claim to boost your fuel/air ratio but actually offer you better economy as well as power. I don't think its believable but their feedback is huge and it's only $18.95. I'm definitely gonna give it a go but would be nice to see what other people have to say about it. |

Mate its been covered plenty of times before and its a scam, it does nothing at best.
Spend the $19 on a new airfilter or buy your Mother some flowers.

this article seems to support such mods... in my honest opinion i think there might be a slight gain but i think fuel economy suffer accordingly. has anybody here ACTUALLY used one of these? that is what i want to know, first hand experience, not something the sellers have made up to sound good |

 These chips and "fuel atomising magnets" are a hoax, they do very little (if anything) for fuel economy. |
