Good question, because for $10 it's GOT to be good right?

It's $89.99 + $9.99 for shipping. It's GOT to be good.

hmm something like this would be nice if it actuals does what they say. I like the idea that it is not software so the dealer will not erase it when doing updates and that it is removable.

I dunno if I'd waste the $$$ on it unless more than one person here has a good experience with it. Trinity also has the ECU remap from Powerchips I think, but it's a little more than $89 (around $700), it is at least proven and you get a warranty.

Will say "yes" to what? That is works or that they've had experience? If it actually works THAT would be interesting to know.

thats just for diesels we want for NA engines, there has been quite a few options for the turbo diesels and the twin turbo engines but nothing really for the NA engines. The issue with the remap from trinity is that everytime the dealer does an update on your car you have to tear your ecu out again and ship it to trinity for remap again.
