haha i love these "performance chips"
All they give you is a resistor with a cable tie. Don't install it on your car.. running it rich isn't the best thing for it

They don't make your car run rich, they make it run lean by fooling the ecu to think the air its sucking in is cooler. Will only work while its hot, and only for a few weeks - months till the ecu learns its way around it
