Did he really think that we would buy one of these POS boxes just so we could leave negative feedback to help him run the seller off of eBay? That is more of a reach than the power claims the seller is making.

there is hundred of sellers selling those power modules. thats all that is in there is a resistor, its a legit mod, though its stupid, its just tricking the PCM that the engine is cooler than it is.
Its all on you if you buy one.

It's not a scam...you just didn't do your homework and now you're mad about it. We've had threads here before about the power wire which is basically the same thing. The IAT sensor is basically a variable resistor...all the power wire and that mindblower do is put a fixed value resistor in it's place. It's not rocket science..

He even tells you how it works right here...sure his claims are very exaggerated on most applications but he's not selling a fake product.
"The way our Performance Modules work is by sending a modified signal through a factory sensor in the engine compartment, called the IAT sensor. This signal alters the computer and the computer then reprograms itself for a more efficient air/fuel mixture. Your vehicle from the factory may come too rich or too lean - meaning too much fuel (rich) or not enough fuel (lean)."
