The chip is a diode that taps into your mass airflow sensor and changes the impedence .000001 volts so its pointless and does nothing.

I read a huge article on it somewhere.

The drive mechanism is very expensive for engine driven superchagers, followed by the manifold adaptation as opposed to a mildly pressurized intake path. It's a good point about converting energy multiple times to ultimately achieve more air flow into the engine, but most other methods have been exhausted and we are discussing something in between ram air hoods and roots-style, belt-driven superchargers. Are you advocating there is "no middle ground" as in "everything that can be invented has been invented?"

No I think its definently a unique idea, just the quality is what I would be worried about.

I saw an article awhile back that showed one of those on a honda civic and it made like 1.5 to 2 PSI of boost so yeah it increased power slightly but not enough to really notice so big waste of money. Now that setup Show No has a pic of that thing probably makes alot of boost but it's a whole different animal.
