I keep seeing these 20+ HP chip are they safe? and what do they tell the ECU to do?

Quote from Icemark's site where he used to sell a kit to do it with instructions.

"Yep, this is the same modification you see people advertising on Ebay for 20+ horsepower. Is it 20 more horsepower? Nope, not in a million years. But this does come with two resistors for your choice of temp readings and does work to make 2 to 5 (minimum) additional horse power, by tricking the ECU to think the air coming into the engine is cooler, and electronically advancing the timing. Note: This modification is not recommended for engines that have knocking in warm weather or piston engines using under 89 octane gasoline."
