It says on there it hooks up with only 2 wires. And you can see they're batter cables. This thing is a hoax to get you to spend your money on something that does nothing. PT Barnum said "There's a sucker born a minute" and anyone that buys that would fall into the 'sucker' category.

I only now that cup holders give you more MPG..

[RECox286]

No Bert, only magnetic cup holders will give you better mileage. Gar-ron-teed!

[tedanderson]

No.. both of you are wrong.. You need to upgrade your muffler bearings in order to get better MPG.

[hardlecure]

Oh yes the muffler bearings. While you're at it be sure to add a flux capacitor as well which helps you out a lot when you reach 88 mph.

[icebrrg3rd]

It doesn't say what you connect the wires to. Most likely all it is doing is changing the reading of one of the sensors that probably will lean it out or make it richer. That MIGHT get you better mileage or performance, but IT WILL BE at the cost of fuel or your engine. And your "gains" will probably slim to none.

You do notice it says "Up to +35 horsepower, +40 torque, +5 mpg. That means you're not adding 35 hp, it COULD be UP TO 35 hp, meaning 0 hp (or even -35 hp) is possible and most likely. You'll only be faster because your wallet is lighter. I'd say stay away from it.

thats what i figured thanks guys!

[RECox286]

Just like the 100 MPG carburetor, fluted muffler bearings, and magnetic cup holders, if it really worked, it would come that way from the assembly plant.

Now where did I put those Lefthanded adjustable metric wrenches?

[tedanderson]

I suppose that I could find a device like that to be useful in certain applications..but not for $65!

If you want to tweak the 02 sensor, all you need is a variable resistor and a AA battery and run them both inline with the sensor wire.

They have an "Award winning technical staff".

Someone "Ask seller a question" and ask what awards they've won.

Here, let me help ya out...

You don't buy the product.

You send me half the purchase price for saving you half the purchase price.

Now we're both happy!

No, the item doesn't work. It's not worth the powder to blow it t'hell. Is that blunt enough?

[tedanderson]

They have an "Award winning technical staff".

I've always wondered about that myself. I mean do these cheap novelty auto parts guys get dressed up once a year and attend a banquet?

It's often like the Academy Awards, or the other Hollywood events.... it's a bunch of very foolish people awarding each other awards and telling everyone else how wonderful they are... and expect everyone else to make them rich and swallow the marketing ploy.

[Lumpy]

Dave won an award for knot tying in Boy Scouts 35 yrs ago.
Sue won 5th place in the 4H club for her championship goat.
Juan just won 3rd place in the Barcelona "Siesta Competition".

That's our award winning technical staff.

Keith

[astroturf]

They fibbed about the device working?

LOLz, Jim

How so Jim?

"Up to," does covers a lot of their claims.

Keith

[astroturf]

You are right Keith...
