Performmaster: ECU piggyback (no flash)

http://www.performmaster.com/technology/

That looks super interesting. It’s basically JB4/RaceChip, but most likely less detectable?

I feel the future of tuning is to just piggyback the ECU harness like this product does. It reads in temps/fuel pressure/ignition/boost and spoofs the data throughout the vehicle network.

Not quite sure how manufacturers can stop that unless they start fuzzing electrical signals, which sounds like it could be a danger safety wise.

edit: they won’t ship to USA

I am thinking of purchasing this as well for my G63 W463A. I am not sure if this can trick the CPC module in order to avoid torque limitations and increase the rpms as well as if it can handle OPF delete. I sent them an email and waiting for response
