Gorillachipz®™
"The Original StageI For 4 Cylinder V-6 and V-8
28 TO 43 More Horse Power Firmer longer shift times, Faster throttle response,
More torque and HP off the line, and best of all documented 1/2 second improved run times in the 1/4 mile."

Just toolin around on ebay and found this.
item #7985408811
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7985408811&fromMakeTrack=true

It's going to be a while before I find/build up my 2.3T I figured on giving this a try if it's not crap.

Thank you

It simply connects directly to your intake sensor, and suddenly your car has Up to 60 Extra horsepower! The Gorillachipz®™ Comes encased so that it can be securely mounted.

come on now that sounds like the guy that was tryign to sell me plug and play stickers in a yahoo car chat room.

well if this thing really does change the timing its worth the 20$ i mean come on 20$ is like the cost of going to the movies, its not like its 50$ or 100$. He even offers a money back guarantee. my question is, if he says it goes between the MAF and the IAC, can i use it. i do not have a MAF on my car.

~btw im not interested in the hp gains he claims, im interesting it what it actually would do to my car, i dont expect hp gains~

For 20 bucks, I'll borrow a timing light, turn her 2 degrees, and call it a day.

HaHa, money can be better spent elsewhere! And in spending it elsewhere you will know the results beforehand (assuming he modifies similar to someone on here to achieve similar results).

FYI: The box changes the voltage input ramp to happen faster from the MAF to the IAC so that the EEC thinks your going faster giving the MAF a false reading to advance your timing faster. The idea works and most Import tuning units like Apex...Etc. do the same thing with a digital display. The problem with a hard wire unit is the timing advances to fast and causes ping without better fuel(92-93octane) because this trick usually has your WOT timing of 36 degrees in before 3000 rpm.

So he wants to see his wallet get thinner (cost of 92/93 octane) or see his engine blow up by not using higher octane fuel?
