do you live in the real world? I mean you are 29 years old...that is something a 15 year old may fall for, can you honestly think that is a true product?

[QUOTE] ALL MODELS ACURA TL !!

95-96-97-98-99-00-01-02-03

*This mod kit is designed to fit on the VEHICLE ABOVE only! Please check out my other auctions for the mod kits that are specific for other vehicles!

**NON-TURBO MODELS ONLY**
QUOTE]


Funny, last I checked there aren't any factory turbo TLs... Wow hopefully none of us turboed out TLs buy this thing.

And in case you're too lazy to search, basically this is a resistor that hooks up to your air intake temp sensor. The added resistance makes the ECU think there's more air so the fuel pump dumps more gas in, making it run rich. Sure you get the power, but it'll also screw your gas mileage.

Those are the same resistor's you can buy at radio shack. I think they sell in a four pack for $1.00.

#1) That CHIP used to be sold as an AIR SENSOR MOD that gave you 20hp...BS...if you seriously tought about it then you should stay away from ebay.

#2) That Electric Supercharger will not work BECAUSE: it says its rated to diplace that quantity of air...OK cool, thats with no resisntace on either side...BUT you need it to literally FORCE air thru the throttle body to get any pressure (forced induction = Turbo/real S/C)
In other words...BS...because im 120%sure that thing cant make any pressure...

prove: every tried putting your hand over your computer's fan as to block any air going in?...does it suck you hand in? does it keep rotating? do you think its blowing air in the inside? DO YOU GET THE POINT?

hope this helps.

Either way i find this duds hillarious...smart but ass*****

$5 for a resistor to short out one of your sensors. I love the professional installation pictures.

The only thing it's missing is some duct tape.

to dumb people yeah...just look at how many people have left + feedbacks on that dud...LOL...what a bunch of retards. watch how nobody says it works...but lots of people leave - feedbacks saying its a scam.

WATCH IT THOUGH...ebay is an amazing place...i bough my WW kit, OEM spoiler, OBX headers, R/C nitro car, ipod cables and another $1000 on more stuff and the worst problem i've had was a late shipping on the WW kit because "it was out of stock" -took 1month-...datzit YO!

*never buy from a dud with less than 96-97% (+) feedbacks....EVER!!

Let me guess - the lucky rabbit's foot is actually a small grenade you throw in front of the Ferrari or Lambo to keep it from passing you???
