so does this mod mean you have to open yoru ecu and soder the connectors somewhere?
Im always a bit skeptical about these mods but i'd like to see what the other members think.

thats a big ole box to hold such a small resistor..lol. He talks about other sensors absorbing heat..what keeps this module from doing such? Hmm...g-box...maybe thats the cars....g-spot?? lol

I think it's funny he says it will outperform other modules that cost under-$100.

C'mon...how many other modules are under $100?lol

This thing is bull$hit. Don't waste ur $$$. The only thing this thing does is it plays with the air to feul ratio. Then there are those resistor mods that send a reading to the ecu that the temperature of the car is lower than it actually is causing the feul injectors to input more fuel and thus burn more feul. Both not worth putting on your car. As for those dinos can you say FFFFAAAAKKKKEEEE. My $0.02.

"In general, leaning out the fuel/oxygen ratio will cause a power loss, but fuel economy gain, conversely richening the mix will cause a slight (usually less than 1/2 mpg) reduction in fuel economy, but an increase in power."

Isn't that backwards? And what about timing changes? That's not even addressed.

rich mixture is bad for power... lean out for power usually, too lean means theres no fuel to make power, u need to find the median

There has been many threads about **** on ebay like this...
I wanted to see if any of this electonic stuff worked with my ecu. I bought one of these things. I had a hard time installing one of these...the manuel of hard to read and was really vague. The piece of **** didn't even work. My advice is DON"T BUY ANYTHING ELECTRONIC FROM EBAY dealing with changing the fuel/air ratio, they will rape you with their product breaking down before you even install it. It's a waste of money, luckily the one that i bought was only $20 and not $35 plus shipping.

check out the guy's damn feedback... he's sold millions of that junk. dam genious if you ask me

all the feedback looks good though... maybe it does work ? or it could be just the idiot who thinks hes modding his car and slams on his pedal and thinks its going twice as fast as before ?

but then again that feedback is kind of convincing. someone go buy it and try it

it's too good to be true. Please take from example those things are ****. If these things are so good, why haven't you hear anything positive about them?
Do what you want to do but don't say i warned you.

save your money, and just get a lower temp thermostat for you cooling system......like 120 deg thermostat. This way, at 120, vs 160, it kicks in, keeping the car cooler, and getting you the extra fuel. 15 - 20 $$$ part, vs $40 ecu enhancing device that could fry your ecu altogether.

my $0.02189465 (round down)
