If you really want ECU upgrades, I would suggest you to search the forum. There are several ECU tunners here that are willing to give you some feedbacks and suggestions on which route to go. Technoflash, AAM, Utech, Unichip, are just a few companies that offer ECU upgrades. I would stay far away from Ebay ECU products.

Don't get it. You're wasting your money. And no -- it doesn't work.

Agreed.
It is surprising that people don't have enough common sense to figure out this is BS. Without ever seeing what's in the little black box, it should be obvious it's a scam.
If it sounds too good to be true..............

The box works best with modifications like the Turbonator.
