zomg mad horsepower! Nobody here has these on their cars because they're too afraid of having that much power added. I say do it, if you're man enough.

save yur money...

take the TPMS sensors off the inside of yur rims. The flux dispersion of the 3.14 circumfrence results in an immediate 5bhp increase per wheel, giving you the equivalence of a 20bhp gain! And this doesn't cost you a penny.

See...now you see inside. Believe everything you see on the internet.

Has a capacitor to make your wires have more spark and even voltage.

I'm sort of surprise that Mazda has not asked him to remove their logo from his site. I wonder what the rules are for that...

Anyway, I like all the negative feedback that got "mutually withdrawn".

Like the old saying goes, "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." I would like to see how many people have actually bought into that B.S..

Wow. But look how many resistors he's sold. They must certainly work as advertised.

we should come up with some bs product like that and send all the profits to aids research or something.

that way when the customer realizes it doesn't do sh*t they won't get as man cuz their money went to cure a deadly virus. ( i know i know, i'm a genus)

I'm getting a house with two other guys for my senior year next year. One of my future roomates just told me that he bought one of these chips off ebay to put in his Jeep Liberty. Maybe I should think about living somewhere else...

We may find out. I just e-mailed the link to Mazda, asking if that's something they endorse, their logo being on it and all.

Being a snitch is not always evil. :-)

Injecting compressed bat fart into the intake will make it go like a bat out of hell.

I like how the seller actually admits "This is a resistor mod"
It's a load of crap. It's a small resistor that makes the IAT send wrong temperature signals to the ECU. In a way, this is what every other piggyback does, but in a fraction of the price. Problem is, you will destroy your engine in a fraction of the time
