Search for IAT spoof - nothing new, just a bunch of recycled BS.

About the only performance moving to the next level will be how fast you can empty your wallet buying useless snake oil.

A fool and his money.

Someone should buy and test...

In theory, you can get more power by leaning the mixture, and using something to modify the O2 sensor signal, but this only will work in closed loop operation.... WOT is usually done via a table, without feedback....

Someone step-up and volenteer!

I didn't put much faith into it and figured you got excatly what you payed for - not much.

On a seperate note - its tough to determine which ecu upgrade to buy. Very difficult to compare.
