power chips....does it work?
well, i just bought a performance chip called PROBOOST for the intake sensor (AIT) and i installed it...but when i tried it out....my check engine came on and now my car bogs at 5 thousand instead of 7....anybody know? is it normal or is it boosting my car a little...?

I've never heard of PROBOOST anything before. Got any info on it? It's probably one of the things that fools the ECU into thinking the AIT is reading a colder temperature than it is, and adding more fuel....which doesn't do anything. I'd take it out.

Now... i'm not new here or anything, but i've seen those on eBay myself, and would personally never trust anything that stated it'd give me 20hp for $10-20...
Just seems like if that were even fathomably close to being a projection of how much an average horse cost, we'd all have 2second cards for an extra couple hundred bux.
