If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Does anyone know what the deal is with this cheapo tuning kit? "Up to 35 hp" should be the first warning sign.

Instantly my gut said to stay away.

Looks like a piggyback system similar to the Neuspeed Power Module and Chipwerke.

They say it alters "fuel mixture and timing curve", I can't see you gaining more than a couple of HP unless you increase boost which is what the other tuners do.

I would stay away.

I agree. I read some reviews of this product and none of them were good.
