It adds the same amount of horsepower as APC stickers and hub cap spinners. No really!

i've never tried it, but i can tell you the results right now: SCAM.

waste of time and money. don't even bother with "quick fixes". "MindBlower" because it'll blow your mind how naive you would be to purchase it...

[SARCASM]This product does work because Toyota engineers are not as smart as they appear. If you don't believe me, check out the Zio mod. Unfortunately, the Japanese engineers left a lot of HP and MPG on the table because they didn't do their homework. I say go for it.

This and the whole 100mpg carburetor design that people talk about are all myths.

As a rule of thumb, almost anything labeled 2004-2009 XB is not meant for the 2008-2009 xB.

To add to your rule of thumb, Almost anything on e-bay that says JDM is a piece of garbage.
