i cant give you a url because my computer is gay and i think my laptop has a virus(cant use internet). but i can give you the ebay item number #7910260983
They claim that you plug it in to your ecu and it gives you 20hp. it also says it doesnt hurt your car. i was figuring that it either doesnt work or it does work and its bad for your car. so i decided to see what you guys think.
if you guys think its legit ill get it for 10-20 bucks...
i tried to put an image on here but i cant figure it out. there is an image button but it just writes [img][/img]. i looked it up but it told me to use bbcode and idont know what that is but im thinking that since it said public accessible websever im guessing it wanted the exact address inbetween the [img] things. but that wouldnt help me because i dont have the exact url on my comp right now. if anybody cares ill elaborate later. i think this is long and confusing enough so ill just end it now. sorry about the long ass post

Don't do it! This is a rip off. The only chip that I have found for our cars is the one that they sell at www.powerchipgroup.com. It is rather expensive, but it might be worth the investment. The one on e-bay is not worth it!

Re: *EBAY ALERT!!* RD FULL INTERIOR CARPET, Brand New!
it's a rip off...it can help performance but the resistor chip they sell is usally 1 ohm resistor...tiburons need a higher ohm resitor i believe it's inbetween 5-10...not sure can't remember the ohm specs on our air temp sensors. The resistor plugs into your air tem sensor trickin the ecu into thinking it's 35 degrees out side. When it's really hot the ecu will retard timing...this resistor keeps the ecu from retarding the timing. Now you if you still want to do this... look up the hyundai webtech and found out what the ohm load is at 35 degrees...go to radio shack buy the right resistor and plug it into your airtemp sensor and leave it out of the intake. the resistors are like a buck a piece.
