It reminds me of this "Turbo Fuel Saver" or something of that nature that is supposed to "trick" you car into getting better gas mileage, using "water gas" lmao! I wouldn’t trust it, but that’s me.

Interesting... it connects to the OBDII port and intercepts the VCM's data. I don't trust it, and don't even know if that's possible. I change values in the VCM but it has to be written taking certain measures to get it on there. Real time editing seems like a bad idea, especially when you don't know what it's doing.

Its still a better attempt than a fake resistor that you plug in the IAT though.
We should all give one dollars to someone and then he orders it and test the product for us. 
I don't trust easy way to may 25 HP. But if it is indeed possible to change some of the values about fuel pressure or timing for exemple, I guess its possible to get some benefits outta this. However I highly doubt it.
