Question Turbo Boost Chip

I got my hands on one of these. I wanted to collectively gather your more experienced thoughts on these boost chips. I wouldn't put it on until I put my exhaust on. What do you think? Thanks!

I'm not exactly sure, that's why I started the thread. It was for sale on Ebay so I wanted to look into it. They claimed it would raise the boost levels a little bit. But I would imagine no more than what a Diablo or Superchips tuner would do. Perhaps one of the guru's could chime in....

Nah, I decided to pass on it due to lack of knowledge. I ended up buying a 80hp Superchip tuner for $200. It was on Ebay, I searched under "Powerstroke". Perhaps we'll come across it again.

P.S.
Go to www.EBayMotors.com and type in "Powerstroke Boost Chip" and it will take you right to it.

Hey Cat Man, I used to live in Chester Springs, Pa. Not far from Elverson. How's the weather? I'll hit you up the next time I'm in town.

Just looked at the link to the ebay auction. From the large picuture I made out the website for the product in question. shiftyperformance.com. Dont wast your money. You probably get more from unplugging your wastegate than this product gives you.

LuLu - It's a good thing you passed!! You can do the same thing for free by unpluging the red line from the wastegate actuator and plugging it. I never heard of such a thing but someone's trying to make a quick buck. Anyway - Hope the Superchip does good for ya!
So you used to live in Chester Springs huh? No kidding? Yea the weather wasn't real great here today - cold and WINDY and supposed to be down to 20* tonight! So much for Spring!

Excellent instincts taking a pass on that. Not only does he want $100 for a free mod, but evidently dosen't even know how the wastegate works.
