Yeahbut - it might cost more in the UK but we get more horsepower :? Ours goes up to eleven :lol:

The video was great - the wires were not even connected to anything other than the led.

All so reminiscent of the sort of snake oil junk that was around when I was taking engines to bits in my teens. Used to be 'mystery' chemistry that delivered the horses back then, now it's mystery electronics. Same scam, different name. Trouble is I actually bought some of the stuff back then and I have no doubt enough people will buy this to make it worth their while.

Next version will probably be ransomware that'll encrypt your ecu until you pay. :shock:

40 BHP ECU TUNING CHIP UPGRADE & FUEL SAVER

The "Fuel Saver" should have been the first (and best) clue.

I remember here in NZ many years ago we had the "Petromiser" which dampened down the "fluctuations" in your fuel pump and saved you gas.
I remember it well as an article on the promoter showed him, and his new car.
An Elan Sprint....
So I guess something good came of it.
