From the description it sounds like a basic capacitor. Which unless you have a serious ICE install wont make any difference.
Looks like a bit of a fad to me mate

They are a great add-on for any car, ive got one working with my Turbonator, Electric supercharger, Ovenknob BHP dial & 20p resistor ECU Chip, adds loads of BHP to the Motah...

Didn't we have a thread on this last week?
Looks like a couple of high wattage wire wound resistors to me. Don't know what you are supposed to do with them, but the one thing I am certain of is, that it's all total bollox.

As above really, it's just a few simple electronic components probably worth less than Ԛ£1 inside a fancy box. Utter bollox. As for all that shite about the cpu needing stable voltage for the engine sensors, the ECU has its own voltage regulator to supply the sensors with a constant stable voltage.

Save your money for something that does actually make a difference.
