Drivetrain This thing is a joke right?
This thing is a joke right?
I've seen this item on Ebay over and over and figured I'd ask. Is this thing simply a joke? Also where the heck would such a thing install if there is something real to it?

It actually includes a REAL computer chip!! Just take a look on the inside of one of the modules. Ask the competitors to do that!

That's awesome. And where did these chips come from? Old 386s in the dumpster?

When I was a kid, a friend of mine showed me how to tie a wire to the governor of a riding lawnmower. When you pulled the wire it was like the mover when into "turbo" mode

You got it!!
Mu dumass upstairs 23 yr old trailer-trash neighbor put one on his base model mustang and RAVES about how much HP it added...he said it was so much better than getting an ECU, it really puts him back in the seat.
I tried to tell him what it really was, but he wouldn't have any of it. His 18 yr old hick unemployed HS drop-out GF just butted in and said 'it made it faster than a V8 now!'. I shook my head...went back to my bar-b-que...
There is an idiot out there to buy ANYTHING you can think of.

It's people like this, and the 'turbonator' folks that make vetting products a necessity!
