Mate just check out his/her feedback, is properly one of the wost i've seen on ebay, with 20% negative feedback, plus he/she changed the I.D name as well, so to me this person is super dodgy!!!

If you read it properly it says, ""In this auction you are bidding for the "information" on how to increase the horsepower of your car by upto +20HP"".

If you give me $5, I can tell you how to upgrade your car to 20HP more. Its just a scam. You are only buying information..

yeah I figured that it's too good to be true...
a mate of mine forwarded me the link... he said he emailed the guy and asked how much the materials would cost and he said $5... but from reading the feedback... it's not worth the risk... even if it does work....
goes to show the rule of thumb... YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR...
just like one of the person who gave a feedback... $5 upgrade turned to $1200 repair bill

and another guy who pay $20 just for the info coz he didn't realise it was just the info...

classic..

i'd be very wary of any performance product bought over ebay that wasn't a brand name.
