since he's not telling the buyer exactly what he's using to fool the ecm, it's either a pretty good idea that he doesn't want someone to steal, or it's rip off. like the old say if it sounds too good to be true then it probly is

probly just just a resistor than that drops that value of the signal coming back from the mass airflow making the ecm think there's more airflow than there actually is, in turn advancing timing and changing the pulse width. i dont know just guessing. its probly $1.50 resistor from radio shack

well i was close, istead of maf it's the IAT. except this one said 5-7hp gain possible. i'd say that guy on ebay is ripping people off. he's saying up to 20hp gain possible, key words being "up to". so if ya gain 1hp then technically it worked

Re: Is This Fake!?
