Screws with your ecu....

I wouldn't trust it. Most stuff like that dosen't know a rotary engine from a piston engine. Bad things can happen, good things might happen as well, but I don't think it is worth the risk. If you try it, tell us your results.

Its probably nothing but a resistor that costs like $0.05. Probably wire it somewhere in the MAF to make the computer think there is cooler air coming in. Basically dont waste your money....

And some people spend 3-4K on engine computers.

Here is my suggestion... this is what I did. Don't post anything here for about 2 months, and read everything you can during those 2 months. That way, you won't sound like a fool. I don't mean to be harsh, we all start out as newbies sometime, but there are a lot of things you'll learn are obvious, such as this.

i know lots of things about lots of stuff i think if someone has a question i should try to help them answer it, heres the thing...someone is selling it, i wanted to ask you guys to see if it was the real deal or not, all i needed was the answers i got above

"Don't post anything here for about 2 months, and read everything you can during those 2 months. That way, you won't sound like a fool. I don't mean to be harsh, we all start out as newbies sometime, but there are a lot of things you'll learn are obvious, such as this. "

this...i don't need. this is not helpful or constructive at all, and obviously im not a newbie, so please don't insult my intelligence. Im not asking for the hell of it..there is a reason

You're not a newbie? Whatever man. I WAS trying to be helpful. If you knew anything about these cars, like I said it would be obvious.

I emailed the guy selling that thing telling him how stupid his product was, and how the description of how it works is totally off. For instance, you gain power by leaning out, but then detonation comes in, and they state the opposite, richening increased power..

Anyways, I wasn't insulting your intelligence, I am giving you a tip. How many people do you think looked at this thread and rolled their eyes. In a year or two you will be slapping yourself for asking a question like this

The above is completely true.

You may not be a newbie, but that is a newbie question. The only more newbie of a question I can think of is "Electric superchargers on Ebay".
