Is this a total and complete bunch of crap? For $19.95, I certainly think so.

Anybody with technical info. that I don't have? Common sense tells me it is junk.

I believe there is a resistor inside that little box, it conect to your wire between the airflow meter and ECU. It try to fool the ECU to give more or less fuel by useing the resistor to change the current. For example the ECU think the engine need more fuel due to the current change by the resistor. But actually the airflow is not change at all ! Just don't take the risk it may mess up your engine, due to the difference of every car's fuel management.

For $30, I'm curious. Maybe I'll put it on my ex-wife's car, it's a listed application!

You guys got ripped off. I went to www.25horsepowerand2inches.com, where I got more H.P. and a kompressor-powered kockpump which plugs into my C32 cigarette lighter and features 19 lbs. of boost. So, if you see a guy "tooling" around San Diego with a grimace on his face, peek on in the driver-side window and check it out! I might even let you TRY it out.
