Everyone hates it ... Cheap gimmick ... Don't waste your time...

I have just summed up about 100 threads in one line ... lol ... But yeah, much talked about, like that chip the you add on which is sold on ebay .. the one which is just a resistor that tricks the car to adding more fuel....

The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problem.

If I had the money I'd buy one just so that I could prove once and for all whether they are as crap as they sound. Anyone with some spare cash lying around buy one so we can resolve this once and for all. Who knows maybe if it does all it says it will be the best hp / $ investment you'll ever make (or you'll more likely lose 5kw as cause it blocks the air flow).
