your wasteing your money


how they work

its a resistor
it tricks the computer in to thinking hte air is colder than it actuly is, thus putting in more air, and fuel to " create power"


but at that power gains are super minumal, you youse a hair more gas, and its never good to fool the computer..... i mean in that way.


and as far as $30, they are a penny a dozen if you look around for 5 more minutes.

and it says up to 300 HP witch could mean anything but if we could get 85 MPG, dont you thik we would all do it?


i mean come on!

get a programable chip from a reputable tuner , it will cost mroe, but work tons better

Well bud, if that $30 will give you even 10-30 more hp let me know. I think $30 for some hp would be fine if it actually works and you notice and feel the difference. Has anyone ever bought one of these and tried it on a 2.3? What did it do?

It is a resistor that you can buy in an electronics shop for a dollar.

i read it. have no fear. still if i could get 300 hp and 85 mpg ( really 85% increase ) it would be more than 30 bucks


so why do they lie and not jsut say 85% increase?


dang id be getting like 35 MPG out of my sixer.



crap


buy one and open it up


resistor, or small programmed chip. they do the same thing, and are worthless

ive seen one with way less outrageous claims for about 220-300 dollars for a 91 2.3 auto. but you need to run premium fuel to use it, and i dont **** gold so thats kind of out of the question

good luck with the "chip"

why would you even consider buying something with claims of 85 percent better gas mileage and MASSIVE unrealistic HP gains for 30 bucks, and the kicker....its on EBAY not even a reputable dealer

no go ahead and waste 30 bucks because you can get the same thing for 2 bucks, and it wont help one bit

You see, I do not need to waste a second of my time reading it. IT IS A SCAM!!!!!. These sellers prey on the fact that most people have no clue as to how engines work. You will not get any real horsepower gains from this. This is a resistor hidden inside a plastic little box that replaces the IAT sensor that tells the engine it is cold and the engine responds with slightly enriched fuel curves because it thinks it needs to warm up the engine. That is all it is. Believe what you want, but this is utter garbage.

Okay, so I read the entire advertisement and I found a few things that were really funny.

At the start when they listed all of the things it will help with, they say 3 different things like 90 different ways to make it seem like a lot.

It even states that it makes your engine run leaner. On new engines that is fine because they are made to run very lean, but not ours. It will probably do more harm to the internals than it's worth if this is actually going to make it run with more air.

They say you can gain 200HP... You almost can't even gain 200HP if you add a turbo, nevermind just adding some more gas and air to the mix!

And they don't even give an average HP gain or MPG gain, which means that they either didn't run any tests, OR their product is crap and they know it!

This is a gigantic pile! But someone should probably try it first before we can completely burn the stupid thing .

SEE!!! You do realise that by saving that $30, you are already 8-10% on your way to a turbo motor, which happens to give you 200% gains in horsepower (and this one is actually tried and true... unlike some other products, which are definately crap!)
