Thumbs down Don't Add That Modual!

It's not worth the money you have to spend. $1000 plus. You are lucky to get what is advertised unless you have a pro install the chip. Is $1000 plus, worth it to you to gain 2 to 15 HP?

It's a little resistor that tricks the sensors into thinking it is getting more air. Makes it dump fuel and run rich... It's garbage.

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

It is more than 'JUST' the hp and tq gains on the Boxster...

Lets face it, there isn't much (if anything) in the way of parts to improve the performance of our cars (other than spending big bucks on aftermarket blowers etc)

The changes we make to the Boxster program includes the ignition timing changes to suit the octane rating of gas you run, fuel mixtures to improve economy and performance, rev limits (optional) and the e-Gas (drive-by-wire) settings.

We spent time to reduce flat spots and improve the launch and low-end performance as well as improve fuel economy slightly. I can assure you that there is no better value upgrade available.

Compare this gain with any exhaust or intake modification, and you will see that it is effective. We are so confident you will like it: you can try it for 14 days to make sure your satisfied.

I hope this helps!
