I wouldnt trust it, sounds cheap n nasty
Custom tune is the only way to go, and the chip doesnt seem to be car specific |

yes it is rubbish, this has been asked a million times.
its just a resistor that fools the car to thinks it cold, over fuels and then you get more power (so they say), resistor burns out eventually and in the mean time the car quickly works around the resistor and all supposed gains are lost.

The fact that it's on ebay, from the uk targetting aussie cars is a bit of a give away.

LOL at the comments.
You could put a fluffy dice in a Fiesta and it'd go a lot faster Bro. Extra 10hp just from the fluffy dice. LOL

Ebay is rapidly losing any credibility it had. May as well call it the Laverton Market soon!!

yes a lot of the "feedback" (take not of the quotation marks) seemed fake
one was purposely mis-spelt to look real and went something along the lines of : "was goink to sell dis car becuz it wuz slo, but now im keepin it 4 sho!!!!!!!"

Reminds me of another thing they've got there at the moment which looks just like a painted fuel filter with a bit of writing on it, and claims an extra 20HP...
