Yeah.. a nice expensive resistor that more or less tricks the system into dumping excess fuel into the cylinders

Waste of money, and the people that sell them should all be banned from ebay and beaten with a chevy cobalt

Buy one if you wish to ruin your car

Come on man, you're from Philly ( ). Your detector should be far too sensitive for crap like this.


Only way to get 40 HP out of a 3G TL is to spend $4,000(+) on a superchargrer.

This is not BS!!!!

I have a sticker, you put it on, you'll gain +15 horse power instantly!

Like George Foreman says, I guarantee it! (the sticker works just like his grill)

Sorry man. Didn't mean it like that.

Lots of chips out there for other cars that do wonders - but they are not dirt cheap. Not so many for Acura and none for the TL.
