Performance chips myth

Now I have seen on here that there are no performance chips made for our cars 99-03 tl-s. now searching for supercharges I came across this site on google claiming to have a performance chip , need you veterans to take a look and need. All y'all input.

you answered your own question in the title.
MYTH.

the website is full of marketing jargon.
20% or 50 hp increase.
15% increase in fuel economy

even in the diagram you can see that its just a resistor.

No one ever said they dont make one for our cars. What has been said is none are made for our cars that work. We DONT have a removable chip in the ecu and the chip that is in it CAN NOT be reprogrammed
