Anyone running this chip?

I know its ebay, and that almost every other chip ive seen (for cars) is bogus. But this one looks semi legit. Anyone know anything about these. What throws me off is how many people that bought them.

Please let me know what you think?

depends on how you look at it...

Maybe the thing works like it says, and then again it might be a piece of junk... I've never heard of it myself. For $75 it would be worth a try if you're not worried about any effects it would have on your truck. I myself would feel better spending the extra $$$ for a reputable name brand that I could receive product support for. Like most people on here I spent many thousands on my truck. I'm not willing to nickel and dime on the extras. I had a superchips tuner on my '05 and it was flawless. Paid exactly $337 shipped to my door from truckracingparts.com (a sponsor on this site I believe) and for that little extra $$$ I had confidence in the tuner. I know several guys running edge mods and they love 'em. My point is peace of mind is worth a lot more than a few hundred bucks. Just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt if you will. I'd be interested to hear what a few of the other guys on here will have to say.

I have to agree. I myself would be worried if its legit, and i would rather spend the extra money and get a brand name that you know is going be around, and not have to worry if its going to mess up my truck. but that just me.

I would never buy it, I read some of his feedback, it funny becasue alot of them said that it never did anything, and that they where paying 75 for a dial nob. its a wast of money to me. If i was going to spend that much i would invest in the dfuser 18K mod its only 150 and its a GREAT product. that will make that much or more power.

Yea Its exactly as i thought. But i did manage to find someone who has one and is reselling it for 25 bucks. Im gonna get it and see just for the hell of it. I just installed my defi boost gauge and Apexi EGT gauge that I had laying around, so I will be able to monitor it.
