Thought that this looked interesting:

Wondered what your opinions were on it? Is it similar to one of those glorified resistors?!

Not quite sure how it can work on all engine sizes!?

Looks more like one of those tuning modules really, hiijacks a signal and increases its value by a specified amount., by the looks of it does it through the motor CAN network.

Wouldnt trust it though, what do americans know about Stilo JTD's lol

Typical, I was getting excited again, didn't notice the

"Compatible with factory equipped Turbo/Supercharger and Diesel Engines"

until you mentioned about JTD's!

I thought they were claiming it was some 'magical' chip that worked on any engine! I was thrown as they showed it connecting to the OBD socket as opposed to the common rail.
