It's SLR, and it is junk.

So, you bought a chip to "lie" to your PCM about what the intake charge temperature is to increase power.

Guess what: as soon as the PCM figures out the new IAT numbers don't jive with what the MAP sensor says it should be, it'll throw out the IAT values, substitute default values and possibly even throw a CEL. You'll feel more power when you put it on, and then 200 miles later it'll all be gone.

Do REAL research before you invest in junk. You can't buy 50 hp for $70.

If you can return it unopened, do it.
