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
