These "chips" do not go in the ECU. They are installed between the IAT sensor and the ECU, what they do is alter the reading of the incoming air charge, thusly fooling the ECU into altering the fuel trims to compensate for the supposed temperature change.

If it comes with a sticker installing that will give you more power than the chip.

Until the ECU has corrected for it using feedback from the O2 sensor or has gone into fail safe mode because it thinks the sensor is faulty.

The only thing I've ever heard of that actually gives you the noticeable power gain is a programmer. They are pricey but I hear they are well worth it if you want to fine tune your ECU. What they do is either disable the governor if you're looking for higher speeds, and vice versa to improve fuel economy... kinda like the expensive little tuners you see guys putting in their diesel trucks. In a 4cyl I don't see the use in it because its not gonna give enough to notice

I was not in any way defending or promoting them. I should have said "fooled temporarily" as you pointed out. Pretty much a scam.
