Anybody else noticed these for sale on ebay, not by me I hasten to add
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=200210163465&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=010
All sounds a bit too good to be true to me, +15BHP, free delivery all for AU $20 which is about £9.15.
Don't know why it's priced in Australian Dollars when it looks like the item is being shipped from the UK.
Beware of cheap imititations it says, Jesus how cheap would that be to be cheaper than this.
Somebody please tell me it does not work, especially since I have just weighed out for a PM Tuning fuel module which was slightly more than a tenner. _________________ www.stanfordparkas.piczo.com |

Mmm feedback comments make for interesting reading, a lot of positives but also a lot of negatives and neutrals for this product used on other vehicles. _________________ www.stanfordparkas.piczo.com |

saw this in the feedback listings:-
Quote: | Hesitant to fit it after reading the back. +15BHP is only the name!!!! |
so it doesn't give you an extra 15bhp it's called +15bhp
subtle marketing _________________

I have seen things like this before they normally make your scoot think it is cold all the time temperature wise......
And so pump more fuel through. I believe it is almost like running the scoot with the choke on all the time......
After a period of time it will mess the scoot up…..
My advice stay well clear.....
Sound too good to be true.......... let you add the rest..... |

It is a load of crap, now if someone could give you 15bhp, they would sell it for more than a tenner, proper super chips cost hundreds for cars!
This trick is basically a resistor that you wire into your ecu, so a tenner for a resistor!! not so much a bargain now is it!!
The resistor fools the ecu in thinking that its colder than it actually is, so the ecu puts more fuel in, so really its like pulling your choke out on a carburettor, it doesnt give you any performance, it just fecks up your engine and cat, and if your vehicle went better like this, then there is something wrong with it in the first place!! _________________ Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
