OBD Tunning box

[DeeTurbo]

Have you guys seen this?

I'm not looking to get one as my car is mapped by ProSteve just thought I'd see if you guys knew anything about them?

[Ruan]

Utter bullshit.

Simples.

Just a box filled with hopes and dreams.

I'm tempted to see what's actually in it...? Just a flashing LED?

At least 'proper' tuning boxes can increase fuelling, admittedly not in the right way, but I can't see how you could alter anything at all through OBD for £7 posted from Hong Kong...

[cully]

7.00 GBP = 77.3129 HKD

sounds like a monthly wage over there
only needs to catch 1 or 2 Toms306's to live like a lord

[Toms306]

It must cost £6 to post it though!

I don't understand how stuff can be so cheap though. I bought a SIM card cutter for 99p posted from Hong Kong a couple of weeks ago. Ok it took a while to arrive but still...99p...I couldn't even post something to the next town for that!

Surprised by the quality also, it actually worked and didn't wreck the card lol.

If it cost £6 to make these guys would be making a massive lost.

I wonder how all the buyers got on with the up to 35% increase in power.

Half tempted to buy one and do a mythbusters down at darrens

[DeeTurbo]

Only thing is you won't be able to see live data through the port but seeing what happens on the rollers would be nice, just hope it doesn't damage your motor.

Im pretty sure you get more power out of a powered by fairy dust sticker than one of them

£6 to post... It cost a couple of pence to make lol.

Everyone knows 'up to' means 'a lot less than', same as broadband speed... I'll bet the people using them do genuinely get a placebo effect from it though!

I don't understand how China makes things so damn cheap

It will be cheaper to build than to ship, shipping is impossibly cheap, how many of these can be stuffed in a 20 footer? 
50,000? They then cost about 2p to ship. Possibly half that as they'll be getting mates rates the whole way. 

UK postage is then covered by bulk business deals that cost fractions of what the face value of stamps are, I bought a first class stamp yesterday, 63p ridiculous!

Maybe if you could arrange it so that the LED on it was flashing out the back of the car, the extra photons propelling you along could be confused with the massive power gains this box is advocating..

[tigerstyle]

The led power draw would outweigh the gains
