Has anyone used this product on there car??? can you tell me what it did to your car?? i just received mine today and its a F*!^ing cheap ass black plastic box with a pcr sticker wrapped around it with 2 wires coming out of it!!!!!!!!!!!! no indicator lights, no switch to select economy, or performance mode, no lcd readout, or anything on the module to indicate that the box even works and isn't just a shell with two wires hot glued to the inside!!!!!!!!! instructions states to disconnect neg for multiple hours to reset ECU and is a must do to see any gain in HP, and to splice into the two IAT wires and that its ok to use either wire for whatever wire to the IAT because they dont have polarity!!! Did i just pay $60 for a make believe performance chip?? i can see the seam to open the unit but i dont want to tear the sticker because then they would say i cant return the module but i want to know whats inside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOOKS LEGIT, but far from it

It uses IAT sensor? So there's probably just a resistor inside to trick the car into thinking sensor is working.

Wonder what they would use. Do you have a multimeter? Put it into ohms reading and probe the wires coming out of "cheap ass black plastic box".

Oh and do you have AT? https://acurazine.com/forums/third-g...-happy-747662/

Idk what you're expecting. Even flashpro only frees around 8-9 horsepower from these motors.

Performance Chip Revamp is just another resistor scam - I was taken also and DO NOT recommend it

What made you fall for the scam? Was it their advertising, or a "What the hell, I'll give it a try" attitude, or even praise from other folks you know and trust?

FbVikings

Yes, the adverts primarily, but also my lack of research before jumping in
