This mod is a fairly common thing on other vehicle fuel systems, never really knew it it applied to terranos. i guess it does
At what cost though? As most of you know I'm not one scared to try a mod or 5 but by installing said electronics, what other detrimental effects will this have in the long run, or even short term on components including IP, MAF etc.

I'm not knocking the method or saying it can't be done, I just believe in applying a bit of thought and logic to things before jumping into the unknown.

Yes you'll probably see 30BHP increase in performance, but would others have neccasarily thought about the possible legalities of it in terms of insurance for instance?

Given the OP's attitude towards the deconstruction of the "tuning boxes" he was trying to sell, I'd fear fitting said device to my vehicle without fully understanding what it does, and how it works at a component level.

Were said boxes manufactured by someone that knew about electronics at all? Are the devices CE stamped to comply with automotive electronic standards? Highly doubtful to all of the above I guess.

I'm just fussier than your next guy and maybe such interrogation raised the question as to whether I was just trying to rip the box off and start making my own for profit?

Who knows, who cares, end of the day I just want to look out for my fellow forum members and friends.
