Don't waste your time and money on this one. There are better ways to spend $10, like use to for gas, lunch or simply donate it to charity.

This is his whole angle. Scam a little bit of money from a lot of people.

My fav line

This is not a speed chip, but a resistor that acts in the same way as a speed chip!
I'd combo this with the hood scoop.

Just a little FYI

"Lemmiwinks" or diodes
do allow CPU modulation...

i still dont see how it will give you 20 hp. There is no way that a diode will just tune a/f maps for you. lol go ahead and buy it do a before and after dyno and post the dyno's i wanna see this

Heres a DYNO for you...
2003 GTI 1.8T with STOCK ECU AND STOCK TURBO
with a 4.3w diode


Obviously it can be done, its called
VOLTAGE CLAMP
or
MAP CLAMP

I never said it was possible with A TSX..............reread my statement

some good reading on diodes

Obviously not for the TSX

say hi to new stuffs....
those voltage stablizer that is recent hot in Japan is basically sth like a diode.
Well, I know it is hard to make people believe here.
Let's wait another year and people in N. America should start discussing.

Not sure about the diode but the resistor trick has been around for years. It's the same IAT mod that Jackson Racing uses for their SC setup by modifing the IAT resistance to trick the ECU to add more fuel. The JR implementation utilizes a pressure switch and relay setup which connects the add-on resistor value to the IAT circuit at approx. 1 psi of boost at the intake manifold. This is an attempt to add fuel during transition to boost to avoid detonation. By adding this resistor to NA setup will cause the engine to run rich all the time including idle, which makes this mod pretty much useless. I can sell anyone who want this mod for only $5.
