    It re maps your fueling tables MAF ect to a
    preset in that is built in to the unit to a leaner fuel mixture. It's a external power programmer

    Ah, i thought it was a generic unit rather than application specific.

    total and complete bullshit. the box probably doesn't even have circuity in it.

    there's no known way to externally control fueling (or timing or anything else) with OBD-II comms in a universal and generic way that would apply to 'any petrol or diesel powered car'. reprogramming fuel tables or dynamic control of fueling just isn't a universal thing.

    if such a thing did work, the technology would be way to valuable to put into a $50 box.

    That’s what i’d presumed.
    Other than it setting DTC’s i couldn’t see how it could alter the pcm code.
    It’s not piggybacking any input either.
