Its a proper con....Its not a chip its a resistor or a "resistor chip" as he calls it prolly bout 20p's worth read his feedback he gets slated. It works by fooling the ECU temp sensor making it think its colder than it is so it advances timing no idea if it works or safe tho....Doesn't sound very safe.

the best bit is the big red writing saying "You will not be disappointed"

lmao.

so its basically a hopper, which is normally used by people with caravans, and people with diesels often use them to hike the power up, like it said by fooling the ecu, i bet the car ends up smoking from it when fitted.

Sounds like a right del boy

"If your vehicle is equipped with electronic fuel injection, it will. 99% of cars manufactured after in or after 1988 are equipped with a fuel injection. It will however not work on turbocharged vehicles"

Impreza T's are out then! Dodgy MF!
