Review on Innovative Performance Power Programmer LaCrosse by Michael Boyle

Revainrating 1 out of 5

A very exquisitely presented piece of overpriced snake oil. Don't waste your time and money.

After the installation, I reflected on what I had learned from sixty years of working as a mechanic and came to the conclusion that any increase in performance could only be explained by properly disconnecting the battery overnight. This is an old mechanics trick that allows the car's computer to erase previously learned settings and revert to local conditions when the battery is reconnected. Simply doing this will result in a significant increase in performance at my 8000ft altitude. I removed what was incorrectly called the "power chip" and verified what it is: a 40 ohm resistor that shorts two wires from whatever transmission device you can connect to, effectively wiping out all the information power that use these wires for power. computer or by submitting false information. Over time, this can only destroy sensitive electronic and mechanical components that are critical to power delivery. To prove my point, try disconnecting the battery overnight. check function after reconnection; and THEN install the "chip" and check the final performance gain or loss. I have returned the item for a refund.
