    Yes, in this thread. How many times do you see people respond in a thread who haven't bothered to read the thread? What happens the next time he posts? That should be pretty easy to comprehend. Like I said: whatever works for you.

    Forums don't need to be so hard. And it's usually those of a certain age (at least they act like it).

    If that aint the most snake oil looking thing I have ever seen. 100$ for 60hp and 5mpg..... if it was that easy Toyota would be doing it from the get go.

    LOLOL and people fall for this shit.

    A) The only "legit" tune is an ECU flash. Plug-in doodads only work because they lightened your wallet.

    B) Nobody is going to definitively answer questions about warranty or emissions because there is no definitive answer. The only definitive answer is that for the most part, the technicians doing the work don't look for ECU checksums (which is the only way to tell that an ECU has been flashed). Therefore, for the vast majority of people, it did not affect warranty or emissions.
