Performance 240 200

Anyone ever use this chip from PROMAX PERFORMANCE X-Chip?
Just wondering if it works at all. Or is it just another Ebay gimmick.

    Unlike the ECUs in late model cars, the LH Jetronic computers are not truly programmable.

    You might be able to change the power/torque curves with these chips and make the car more driveable, but a normally aspirated car will see no increase in actual power. The turbo cars are a different situation because the ECU controls the amount of boost.

      Thanks for the insight on this chip. I had no idea about it's ability and I now know what to save my money from!
      I think I will just spend it on some good tires and rims.

    The guys at Turbobricks have a lot to say about chips:

    But the one you are asking about in particular--I believe that was shown to be a scam.
