Eccles is rite!
Eccles, man... you got it!
My 'Occams Razor' only cost three payments of $29.95, and it's saved me about 28% of my gas bill! Fits in the air filter and actually slices AND DICES the incoming air!

Dude, I spent 4 years getting a mechanical engineering degree. 8 hours a day, for 4 years, learning the science behind stuff like this. I'm not going to do an engineering analysis for you to prove this crap device is a scam.
Nevertheless, it's highly unlikely this works. First tipoff is the explanation. It looks like someone just threw together some buzzwords in random fashion, without presenting any logical sort of explanation--not an in depth explanation, not a layman's explanation, not a chart--nothing but a couple of nonsense sentences.
I seem to remember reading something about the truth of these type things (it's basically just a simple magnet, or something to put a static charge into the fuel). What it does--in theory--is create a finer mist of fuel, promoting more complete combustion. In theory. Fuel droplets with a negative static charge will repel each other, so they reason.
Technically it can be made to work but only in extremely specific conditions--it only works on a select few types of cars, with carburetors, in the winter, upon startup, with high humidity, on a car that had fuel lines half-clogged with metallic trash to begin with (or something like that, I don't recall the real conditions). In other words, the test results are taken in a situation you won't even face in real life.

I just want to say I'm enjoying this thread.
Let's pick actors appropriate for the different participants.
I think Doctorr is being played by John Wayne and NineT4 has to be the bloke that played Rik in the Young Ones!
Any takers?

Funny thing though was that no one actually answered my question. The question was if someone had used this or a similar product. Everyone just jumped on it and assumed it wouldn't work. The funny thing is I don't expect it to work, but am almost willing to try it just because. They do have a 90 day return policy. Wouldn't it be too funny if this was as easy a fix as it appears.

If you have a 90 day return policy, try it...

I tried it.......It does not work at all......dyno tested....a waste of $30 or $40 dollars.....I knew it was a scam but I had to try....
Complain to E-bay and give this scam artist bad feed-back.
We have full access to a dyno.....the Borla exhaust does really work however. 11 HP gain

some say it's just a resistor that plugs in to your IAT sensor and not a chip at all...what would this do?
