Is this real or is it a scam for money?

Is this real or is it a scam for money?
This guys says that its a ECU that is modded to do 8 to 12 hp, is it worth getting or is it a rip? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...sPageName=WDVW
Heres wat he says..
89-94 Nissan Maxima with single cam engine VG30E and auto transmission. Upgraded performance ecu. Professionaly socketed and upgraded with performance chip program. Aprox. gain in HP is 8 to 12 depending on condition of your engine.
Timing maps optimised for 91 and higher octane fuel.
Fuel maps tuned for best air flow ratio ~12:1
Rev limit at 7000
Top speed of 120mph eliminated
User gets complete ECU unit as well as stock chip so the ecu can be set back to stock program. You will notice better throttle response and engine will rev quicker with this upgraded complete engine computer. No resistor nock offs. No core exchange. you get to keep your stock ECU.
Auction is for complete ECU unit, no core charge. This is not a JWT ecu.

This guy knows his stuff. He has a 12 sec turbo VG. I cannot personally vouch for his stuff, but it seems pretty legit to me. He explained everything in a thread earlier.
His screen name is HakkenTT or something similar.
I agree, donate and search.

btw.. if u people want to buy it can u not outbid me? just ask him to make another one so u can get it. cuz' i'm getting this one with lower octane fuel timing optimizations.. i was talking to him about it few days ago before i placed the bid.. thx guys...

"Can u not outbid me?"
Hmm...trying to figure out if you want us to outbid you or not.
BTW: Isn't there an unwritten rule that you're not supposed to list eBay stuff in posts because it potentially ruins a good deal for a fellow member?
I guess it wouldn't matter if a seller had more than one for sale.

In the case of this guy's ECUs, a smart .org member would probably send the guy a PM and see if you can have one made at a set cost. If you have a spare ECU, you could probably send it to him. I don't know him, or what he prefers to do, but I think he probably gets ECUs out of boneyard cars, which drives the price up some.

Scam?
"His screen name is HakkenTT or something similar".
This guy is a flamer off the twinturbo.net forum. He's not repspected too much over there. I'd be a little cautious...
Also, the Maxima SE has a speed limiter "around" 137 mph (seen it), and I thought it had an RPM limiter as well, but it's set pretty high.

My question right off the bat would be, how can an ECU alone raise your rev limit? An engine can only handle what it's engineered for. Anyone claiming a simple mod can raise rev limits by 4-500 RPM gets a big BS stamp from me.
