I have a deal for everyone. If everyone will chip in a couple of bucks to pay for the unit, I'll pay for the dyno and post the results.

This triphase thing sounds like it's does the same thing as those "performance" chips you can buy on ebay for $20...

Basically a resistor that tricks the ECU into thinking that it's colder than it really is...

I've seen these chips in action... makes your bumper black from running too rich and your gas mileage goes into the dumper...

I'd definitely avoid it... even though you do get a performance bump - it's because you're running rich...
