I don't know. for 70 bucks I'd be tempted to try it and dyno the piss out of it to see If there is a difference. It would be nice if they'd show some numbers...(it's probably garbage, though)

I believe Garm bought a similar chip, opened it up, and it's nothing but a 10 cent resistor. It'll probably cause some damage to your car in the long run too.

I think we all need to jump this bandwagon and start selling these!

Thanks for opinions
The fact that this thing may just contain one resistor inside - what does this mean for a car? How does it work? Does it work at all? We need CTScott, I am afraid )) |

It temporarily fools the ECU into leaning the mixture to make more power, I think. Stop working after 15 minutes, if it ever worked at all.
Here is my "article" on the product: http://www.microimageonline.com/foru...act-or-Fiction Here is the one I bought:
