'+15 BHP' Power Module/Chip for FTO

Postby Aido C » Sun Feb 22, 2009 7:02 pm

I seen these +15 BPH module on ebay. They are made by Celox and were recommended by Max Power magazine. I bought one and they are only €9.40 with free P&P to Ireland.

It seems like a decent amount of extra HP for very cheap. (Too cheap??)

Does anyone know anything about them? I'm just a bit cautious that it might make the engine run to lean.

Here's the link for them on ebay.

Don't fit it. it's useless tat that could damage your car. Mitsu went to a lot of effort to safely squeeze 197bhp out of a 2.0 - Do you really think that by fitting a different air flow meter they could bring that up to 212bhp?

I'd say there is about as much likelyhood of that thing having a positive effect on the car as one of those magnetic fuel savers..


Don't mean to be rude or anything..but whoever recommended that thing needs to be dealt with..

There's been plenty of threads about gadgets like these.

Just search for 'rubbish' and I'm sure you'll find them :wink:

They do actually work...
If placed wrong you can cause issues, but they do actually affect the fuel as it goes intot he fuel rail and combusts better but to be honest paying attention to your driving will save a hell of alot more

Cheers for the heads up lads. I was just curious when I seen them on ebay. I don't know much about them, that's why I asked.

Thanks:)
