NO.

you get what you pay for. those will make your car run poorly and worsen your gas mileage considerably. there is no "miracle" pre-programmed chip that can "boost your hp!!!!!lol!" or provide any real benefit at all for that matter.

well actually one is out you can diy,but result do vary. a great site to figure all of it out is hybridka, IIRC the ebay tune is even on there,to give a reference of bs

anything that allows you to tune your car or adjust the map is not really a pre-programmed chip.

look into megasquirt, bikirom, etc... standalone management if youre serious about tuning, but it wont do much for an otherwise stock vehicle.

I dont feel like arguing but some guy picked up like 20whp all stock only tuning. Its a well known FACT ka's run rich from oem.

yeah im not going to "argue" that either, but in the end, would you spend the money and time on a dyno to convert to a standalone if you were planning on running everything else stock?

imho that should be the CORE of a good setup, sure! but not a by-itself mod.

From the description the chip makes the A/F ratio run richer, am I correct??

Most of those on ebay for ka24e/de are outdated versions of tunes posted on eccs.hybridka.com.

So dont waste your money on ebay chips. A single "tune" is worthless, you can get better tunes/learn more about tuning by visiting the forum and doing it yourself.
