well the fact you can see it has a picture of a 3rd gen rx-7( which we all know is turbocharged)
and then you read the FAQ and it says sorry, only works on naturally assraped engines. yeah bullshit, i bet they dont even ship you anything, or ship you a fusable link and tell you add it to your battery lol.

It's a resistor in a box, it basically does nothing. This is pretty basic stuff that's been covered before.

IF IT WAS THAT EASY TO MAKE POWER THEN THE OEM'S WOULD BE DOING IT!

IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT PROBABLY IS!

they're a scam. I have an electric supercharger I could sell you that would do more than that.

its a 10 cent resistor from radio shack put in a box. you wire inline with the wire that tells the computer air temp. It's suppose to add power by tricking the ecu into thinking the air is cooler than it is, thats why it says not for turbo cars, cause it wil make them detonate. you might get 1 hp no where near 60. i'd stay away from most non-name brand chips, no name companies probably don't have the money to make a good chip.

Our cars already run rich, so you'll actually loose a little power by making it think that it's cooler (cooler air is more dense, so the computer will add more fuel to compensate).

I don't think it makes sense anyway. How can you have more horsepower and get a better mileage. The higher horse power car you have the more gas you tend to use. I don't trust these thing on ebay.
