    No doubt something good. I love it when people try to add up horsepower gains by the mod. It quickly becomes evident they know nothing about making power and have never been on a dyno. Poor saps.

    I guess they expect current to arc between the SMD pads. [​IMG]

    What a novel way to sell 10¢ worth of surplus chip. Tack on two different color wires, this must be the Deluxe version, and those two quik connects, SWEET.
    I would love to read the electrical theory behind these wonderful little gonqulator units!
    When I ran a search, I was amazed at the number of units for SALE,
    when I ran a units sold search, I was stunned at the number of units SOLD!!!
    SUCKERSSSSSSSSZZZ !!
    So. I guess we will probably never hear from anyone who actually took food out of their childrens' mouths to purchase this unit! H'mmm would it then be too much to maybe ask for a review of the unit in question?

    Almost right, the ECU is fooled to see lower temps. Higher temps cause retarded timing on the ignition maps under load nad the aim is to advance the timing. But the gain is marginal and on cold temperatures the engines mixture may become overrich.

    This company that represents the G-Force Chip has no business ethics at all.be sure to read their return Policy!!!
    They will charge you a 25% restocking fee even if you don't open the package. They expect you to return their garbage and that's how they make money... Trust me....It's a Scam!

    There is no such thing as a performance chip for the Prius or just about any other modern car. That is 1980s technology. :)
