    I was browsing ebay for bits when I came across this. (LINK NSFW)

    The usual promises. More power. Less fuel. Ladies will lose articles of clothing. May effect hair growth.

    I was surprised by the amount of positive feedback he has. Over 7000 sales and 99.8% positive. This one even allegedly has 10 presets for your car.

    Is this just a variable resistor, or is it just magic? Anyone have any experience with one of these?

    I was looking at a toyota garages very similar model. Costs about 400, seems like an identical install.

    Was half thinking to myself, if they can make it, then maybe this is a perfectly functional chinese copy?


    Thanks

    I'd one for a week in my 75, then I threw it out and got a remap. Terrible thing, lots more power, but it drank diesel as a result.

    Ah yes... becuase all young fellas are going to want to install that plastic box in their lambo.

    I'm sure at least one 'box' in that ad works as advertised. :D
