I just recently bought a powermax performance chip for my 2002 gt and cannot find out how to install it. It goes into the mass air flow sensor somehow and cant seem ti figure it out, any suggestions???

Step 1: Open a web browser.
Step 2: Browse to eBay Motors.
Step 3: Create an ad to sell this thing to try to re-coup your money.

Any "performance chip" that connects directly to the MAF (or IAT sensor) is not a performance chip at all, it's just a scam. I would not connect such a thing to any wiring on my car and suggest you don't either.

Get a proper tune or leave the car alone.

yea man sorry to say it but Trinity gt is right
those little "chips" just mess with the MAF signal if they actually do something at all but it will do more harm then good.
sorry man
