its probably just an ecu chipped with an 'ebay' type program, lots of fuel, advanced timing etc...doubt theres much time behind the tuning. Tuning from each motor to the next is different everytime.

I heard they install an actual human tuner in the ECU and He or She Learns your car from there they tune it to the specs you want like Hella Gas and Hella advanced timing. Also i don't like 8200 RPM on a non-vtec block. But hey Its your Cash

looks like a shame IMO but couldn't they get in trouble for selling a "spoon" ecu. Doesn't even say spoon style like most knockoff's do.

^ Agreed.

However, the seller does have 100% feedback from 946 different customers. I still wouldn't buy it.

i think every ecu tunes itself to run best for your car but only to a small degree. Hince the "resetting the ecu" everytime you add any performance parts to your car to let the ecu adjust to it.

but yeah, ebay sucks. i bougt a brand new camera and when i open the box, i was suprized.

what i saw was shocking. i thought to myself, is this for real? it was the most shocking thing i had ever seen in my life. my eyes open like wtf................
omg............... wtf again..........

and i asked myself,

is this really happening. i was in a new world, like woah.

it lasted for about 30 seconds. what i saw was that shocking. got me traumatized for about 30 seconds.
