they have high feedback, out of a handful, only 2 actually claimed it made a difference to their car's performance, many gave positive feedback without having fitted it to their cars

some people wont leave negative feedback for the sake of a product costing a few quid if it doesnt work, cos they dont wanna risk gettin neg in return

i'm not sure exactly what it is but they say it's an ECU tuner that gives you control over the power it delivers!

Sounds like a load of tosh to me, I just wondered what it was.

It's probably just a variable resistor that connects to either the coolant temperature or intake air temperature sensors. By fooling the ECU into thinking that either of these sensors is cooler than it is, you can get the engine to run richer.

All this will do is cause your engine to waste fuel and maybe throw some fault codes. Tuning ignition advace is the main route to extra power and the effect of either of these sensors on advance will be minimal. The only worthwhile tuning step to take is to re-map the fuel and ignition by replacing the chip.

I have never read such a load of bull....   >:(

Fooling around with the knock sensor resistance may get the ECU to advance the ignition...
