Does anyone have info on the GForce chip advertised on this site. Sounds to good to be true, especially for the price listed.

Forget chips unless you are having fish.
No chip works trust me, or him or him or ...........
Get EuroCharged or similar and you are looking at $300 or so not $10.

The 'chip' is usually nothing but a resistor in a fancy package that modifies the voltage seen by the ECU for the MAF or IAT sensor.
They are good for nuttin but engine damage.

You'd think if they could give you over 50 more horsepower and 5 or more extra MPG, everybody would have one on their car. I don't know of anyone who wasted their money on them.

Now you know he is referring to the Supercharger. Many people do not realize that a SC and turbocharger are different. So, for those that don't know, a supercharger runs off the main belt and a turbocharger is turned by the exhaust gas, that is why a turbo takes some time to spool up and results in that terrible feeling of turbo lag, then BAM.

If you are referring to bluecoupe then you too have misread the meaning of his words. Some people seem to miss the actual meaning of the post, in this case he actually used the smilie, meaning he was razzing the other poster and not being snarky at all.
