FAKE! If you click on the image, a new window comes up explaining what this "chip" does, as i read thru it i found this under the Instalation section in the 1st paragraph:
"There is no soldering involved. You'll locate your vehicle's IAT sensor and your new Chip will be installed via the factory harness."
So its another bogus "resistor" chip.
If you want the same damn thing and probly even better, unplug your IAT and your 1st O2 sensor (the one on the exhaust manifold) it will trigger a check engine light until you plug them back and drive around a little again, but the engine will produce significantly more power. Don't drive around like that too much tho, in the long run it will foul the plugs and might clog the cat, the engine also runs hotter, you can definitely feel the exhaust mani hotter then normal.
I tried this little trick on my 2.0, and it makes quite the difference.
I guess you could setup somekind of switch that would cut the signal from both sensors when you turn it on, and back to normal when its off. Just for those little ricer civic wannabes lol
