Because while people (as individuals) can be quite intelligent, people (as
groups) are very stupid [1]

AIUI this mod is just a resistor that alters the value for the MAF (or
similar).

If you fitted one *you'd* want to feel a difference as well [2]

[1] The IQ of a group canbe determined by dividing the IQ of the most
inteeligent memeber of the group by the number of people in that group
[2] cf magnetic fuel treatments, catalytic converter cleaners, fuel
additives, super plus petrol etc etc

Ridiculous claims on eBay
 

There's someone on eBay.co.uk selling mod chips that claims to increase
power up to 20bhp.

But where are you supposed to stick these chips in an Alfetta, Alfasud,
1750, 2000, 2600, Sprint, Arna, 6, 90, Berlina, Duetto, Giulia, Giuletta or
Montreal?

And how come this guy has 100% postive rating?

Then why has posted so many adverts? This is doubly bad as the item is
being advertised for cars with no ECU, and it crap anyway.

He's an idiot (or makes money fomr idiots). You'd probably find that the
he's done every model from BWM as well (and not just them)

A random trawl of his feedback shows that most of his business to
date has been selling phone parts, many of them of the snake oil variety.
this could be why the 100% feedback.

I've just aked him how I should fit one to the Sprint ;)
