    You guys think this is true? Anyone ever tried something like this?

    Quoted from:

    This module is not for turbo engines.
    You will Feel More Horse Power & More Torque Right Away!!!
    Your car will accelerate faster and have a higher top end speed.
    This is a great module for any car,truck or suv and will definitely increase your HORSEPOWER up to 20 hp.
    Do not pay hundreds for this module at your local speed shop!
    This is the same technology as ECU upgrades and Performance chips like the Jet V-chip...and the king cobra But is offered at a fraction of the cost.
    This will release the potential of your engine. Remember that car makers must limit power on engines due to legal regulations. This is one of those modifications that takes that legal barrier off and allows your engine to breathe and go faster than before...it is 100% safe for your car, and can be removed anytime.



    This module will allow you to boost the power output of your vehicle's engine, without sacrificing reliability or comfort. It consists of a small electronic device that will be inserted between one of your car's sensor and the ECU. This is also know as a 'piggy back' device as it is external to the main processing unit (the ECU). You will feel the gain instantly, no fooling around or expensive tuning necessary. This unit will work with all vehicles equipped with electronic fuel injection. 99% of cars manufactures after 1988 are equipped with electronic fuel injection.
    Here is how it works: You have probably heard of performance Eprom chips. There chips consist of a stock computer program that has been altered to inject more fuel into the engine under acceleration. Timing curves are commonly also adjusted consequently. These chips can be found to be quite effective, but also pricey as you not only need the chip, but also a socketing kit. You then need to do some soldering on your computer board which can damage it and cause it to malfunction. On the other hand, this 'piggy back' electronic device will alter the fuel and timing curves in a very similar way as the Eprom chip would, but without even opening the ECU. How can it do that? By fooling your computer and letting it think that you are sucking air at a different temperature. Your computer will respond with increased power!
    This is a do-it-yourself kit takes no knowledge of cars and is extremely easy to install. our step by step walk through instructions make it easy for anyone to do it!!
    This Module will modify your AIR/Fuel ratio and slightly change your engines timing to run stronger and with increased power. Releasing the true HORSEPOWER of your engine! This mod is a fraction of the cost of those expensive ECU upgrades ($400-$800) And does the same exact thing adds up to 20 HP!
    DON'T BE FOOLED This is the same kit, yes the same kit!!! that many others are selling for much more!
    You will DEFINITELY notice the difference Right Off the Line. It is More Responsive , More Power full & You will Like it! Our Kit is one of the best! This module is very easy to install anyone could do it. This mod is also just as easy to remove in 5 minutes or less and replace it if you want at a later time.
    Easier & Faster than Pumping Gas!!
    You will Not Be disappointed with the result. This kit comes with a special EASY to READ Walk Through Instruction sheet.

    Most asked questions!!

    Will this void my warranty ??? ·
    NO this will not void out most warranties. If you have a very strict underwriter on your warranty you can undo this mod in less than 5 minutes. You can even Re-Install it later.
    Will this work with aftermarket intake? ·
    Yes, It will work with aftermarket intake as well as stock intake
    Does it increase or decrease my MPG? ·
    No, your gas mileage will be the same. the change is virtually un noticeable!!
    Do I need any special skills or tools?
    No special skills are required. A simple pair of strong pliers will be necessary for the install.
    Will this device damage my car?
    Absolutely not. Since the altered signal will always stay within the manufacturer's specifications, there is no way for your engine to get damaged in any way.

    It reads like a resistor or some other circuit that is inserted into the wiring from the intake-air sensor. Basically it does what an AFC does but it is NOT adjustable. It also affects the entire RPM band with no consideration for RPM level.

    IMHO, it would increase power but NOT 20% and only if your car has been modified enough to take advantage of the increased a/f.

    i highly doubt this is true. there is no 'magic bullet' for engine tuning...just tried and tested techniques - and lotsa money.
