Default About progressive tuner on Xbay

Hi ,
I saw a " Progressive tuner " on Xbay, which says it increases 22 HorsePower at most.
Are there anyone using this system now? Does it really increase horsepower ? Thanks for your reply :P

I think this is the "wonder device" that puts a resistor in the inlet air temperature circuit and tricks the ECM to make it think the air is colder and can add more advance. They're selling from about $25.00 plus shipping I think. I think you'd do better to save your money.

Dyno repeatability isn't that good. The "wonder device" doesn't do anything.

Your right, but both cars picked up 1-2 rwhp after installed. I'm not trying to indorce this thing at all. I'm trying to show that it didn't make 22 hp as stated.
