Its junk, forget it.
There is no such thing as a dirt cheap power mod. Shortcuts like that are just scams. Its actually jsut a resistor that fools one section of the ECU into thinking the engine is cooler and therefor pumps in more fuel. Given the AU ECU runs too rich anyhow it would actualy reduce power and increase fuel consumption most likely

yeah for $16 odd bucks all up, someone should try one and see if it makes any difference to Power & Fuel Consumption. Everyone bags stuff without even trying it, whilst yes i do agree its probably a scam and a load of ИИИИ, but who knows, maybe it works, for $16 whos willing to try it????

I bought a similar device about 15 years ago for my holden. Bascially it sat ontop of your distributor and the lead from the ignition coil connected to it. The guy demostrated it on a 309 wb statesman. Without it, when he disconnected 1 lead at a time the engine would drop revs and stall. He removed 2 leads for this to happen. But when the gizmo was installed, he could remove 5 leads and the engine was still running. It increased the spark and keept the engine running longer with less leads.
I bought one. was about $50. I had a problem with the car not idling from cold. Took it to a heap of mechanics and the car would not idle if the engine was less that 1/4 warm. So I got the gizmo, installed it and would you beleive, it never helped.  : Think they saw me coming.They are all gimmicks |
