    Most people concluded that they don't work without damaging the engine due to overheating.

    Thank you for the links! I now have confirmed what I already thought would be true. Complete and utter bullshit :lol:

    Thanks again.

    advise: if it sounds too good to be true, then there's usually something wrong with it.

    I can't see how a single chip could boost your car by that much horsepower without any mods of any kind. Impossible. Even if they completely remap the ECU, I still can't see the gains. I've talked to mechanics and technicians as well as my friends about it, and they said it sounded like a story someone made up. No one believed it!!!

    If it was that simple, all our cars would be high performance machines that will have 200+hp. Actually, I like to see someone install it and then give us the details on how their car ran. I don't think anyone is willing to mess with it though.

    Exactly what I was thinking. Why hasn't Toyota (or any car manufor that fact) been using this? I'd raise the BS flag here...
