Nitro Box performance chip

I just bought one and it came with minimal instructions and being that I don't know much about the mechanics of the cars I am clueless. Anyone put one in and has it helped a little? I need a little boost at an inexpensive cost(if there is such a thing)so I bought this.Says to install it at the intake air temperature sensor between air box and throttle body or the intake manifold. I bought this used with no manual. Anyone help with pics?? Would appreciate any input, help, comments...thanks...3 week old 2006 HHR owner.

Whatever you paid for it, try to get your money back. They don't work.

We had our mechanic put one on our Toyota Tundra no problems and it works. The one I purchased for the HHR and he can not figure out how to install it. So if you can figure it out please let me know too!

It may not be compatible anyway. I think the iat is part of the maf sensor.

I emailed the guy on ebay i bought mine from, it was pretty easy. Just crimped it into the MAF sensor lines - took about 10 minutes. I dont have the diagram anymore, but if you need i can take a picture. Didnt get the huge results they advertised, but it did increase my MPG by about 3 City and 5 Highway. My average now sits at 28.6 mpg

I get 28.5 all the time. I use Obama's tire pressure gauge.
