I came across this on Ebay... surely it must be a wind up, £40 to get 40 extra Bhp!!??

If you opened it up you would find a resistor (2p from Maplins) which is looped back on itself.

The plug is fake, only one is used to loop back to the connector. They then fill them with resin glue to a) hide what they have done and b) make it feel heavier

I bought one for my golf 1.9tdi off ebay. It definitely worked. Careful though as it's pretty hard to remove - something you wouldn't want to do in a hurry if you know what I mean..........

resistor mod"

My Golf 140 tdi had just short of 160hp and 260 lbft when it was standard ! so i dont think you have any more than stock.

I had mine superchiped and then it had 198hp and 316lbft you will feel a differance belive me.

These VW engines always have a lot more power than stated they always seem to have at least 150hp when stock min.

You get what you pay for with these.. It's a bit like drugs for a runner.. yes they make you faster but they screw you up in the end.

All they do is give false reading to the ecu so that car overfuels.. bad news long term.

In summary No..No..No..No..No..No..No..No..
