Default Ebay "power chips"

I highly doubt these would work, also what does messing around with the IAT do?

I had one but took it out, floorboard kept falling out.

Too fast for me, I'll stick to forced induction.

If IAT reports air is colder than it is, thus denser, it will inject more fuel. Makes your car run richer which probably does more to hurt power than help, unless you're running awfully lean to begin with. Then again, you should probably just tune the damn thing.

An IAT hack seams pointless when the ECU is going to try to cycle your AFR around the O2 sensor any way. IAT reports denser air> ECU enrichens accordingly> O2 reports richer mix> ECU leans out again

I would highly doubt you are much of a "CRXtuner" if you thought it would do anything other than drain your money from your wallet.
