Default Ebay tuning chip.

If I fitted this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TUNING-CHI...item3a6f92fa01 would it increase my 116 bhp rover cdt to a 136 bhp??? Many thanks....

Hmm . . . . I'd be very wary buying stuff on Ebay based purely on the sellers claims. I would have suggested looking at the feedback and contacting buyers (I've done that before) but all his transactions are marked private so no idea what they bought.

This question about this item has been asked before and the answer is that you would be throwing your moeny away buying one.

Try and avoid ebay chips at all costs, they tend to cause long term problems.

If you fitted that you would be £9.90 poorer with nothing to show for it I am afraid

Simply avoid. Regardless of what they say it's a resistor in an expensive jacket........Probably designed to make the ECU think the air is cooler and inject more fuel leading to all kind of issues.

Like the statement in the ad though:-
undetectable when removed

Guess that applies to everything that is removed
