Default ECU mod

Hey guys, a buddy of mine bought one of these and said they really do what they claim. Has anybody ever heard of this or maybe have one installed? I just wanted to check before I buy one.

Your buddy is an idiot and so are you if you even consider wasting your money on that.

Your buddy is full of crap.
The only thing that little item will do is likely fry your coil or screw up some wiring. Hope you have an extra $200 to spend on repairs after taking it out of your car.

Wow 25hp/50ft.lbs for 50 bucks, thats better than the 200 dollars i spent on a CAI for 5hp. Maybe if i daisy chain them ill get double the results.

All the joking aside osofast89, you cant get HP cheaply. It takes hard work, cash, and the voiding of warentees.

Practicality! Whats that? Is it keeping a portable GPS system instead of buying a $2000 Stereo system that has GPS with it? If thats what it is, then i dont want it. You can have the practicality L2R, I dont want it
