http://www.20horsepower.com/ has anyone at all ever heard of velocity performance, now I know it may be another scam but I want to make sure and see what you guys think about it. I hope its not another stupid thing like the turbonator, and no I dont plan on getting it im just wondering if it acutally works lol.

Sounds like a pile of shit to me. It doesnt mention which sensor(s) it intercepts, so I can't speculate on how it works. But it looks like the typical mod that changes the signal from the baro, IAT, or TPS sensors.

There are a few dozen things mentioned in that ad that anger me. One is talking about a 14.7:1 AFR, which the ECU only tries to average (it cycles above and below that) at crusie and idle, when it supposed to add power at WOT. WTF does one have to do with the other, I dont know. And looking at the useless products they state this is supposed to compete with, I would assume its equally useless just based on that.

Oh well.

No thanks ill just stick to decals...They make my car hella fast, son!

Nawz decals are the SHIT!!

If you are going to be serious about your car, then don't even bother with the piece of crap parts out there. Save up your money and buy something that is good quality and will actually benefit your car.

lol I know guys its a scam, I wish this and the turbonator actually worked then I would have a fast car but again, I feel bad for whoever actually buys this stuff and takes their ride to the track...

$30 can get you 20hp. Make or buy a MBC and turn up stock boost to 15psi and your set! lol

hahah..thats funny. I'd rather take off the 'T' in Tsi, so the "Si" sticker can make my DSM 4 seconds faster!!! lmao. I'd have to agree with Viet Boi at most, because I'm pretty sure 20 Hp for $30 is pretty damn easy to get if you want it RIGHT THERE.......if you're crazy.
