Off hand, looks like another rip-off product.
Your ECU, coupled with a fully functioning O2 sensor does the EXACT same thing. it automaticly adjusts the fuel flow in relation to the readings from the MAF & O2 sensor to give the optimal mixture for burn. This lil gizmo just alows you (supposedly) to tweak it a bit to get more power.
My personal oppinion? Spend the money & get a power chip. At least we know those work.

um, the reprogrammed ecu/powerchips really aren't all that great. sure, if you've only done bolt on's and dont plan on anything else then go ahead but they lack tunability. so they are definately not the best option if going high performance.
nos92mx3: what all do you have done to your car? the reason i ask is because i had the same unit installed on my car w/ a B6T rx-7 maf and bigger injectors. simply put it didn't work well. at all. its kind of like an apexi s-afc but not as precise or tuner friendly. the guy i talked to at HKS said that it is used for boltons mainly. he even said that he wouldn't recommend them for eclipse guys running bigger (like 550cc) injectors.
so, if you have alot done to your car save your money and get the Apexi S-AFC 2(i got one and absolutely love it; the car runs alot smoother). but if you just need some fine tuning it sould work fine.
another note: with the HKS unit it threw codes for the MAF, but with the Apexi unit i have no codes.

A friend of mines boss.. also owns hypertech who recently aquired Jet Chips. That means they will have the code for the ECU. I will try and see if I can get some custom ECUs made when I get all the info, could be later this year sometime.

all i have done right now is some of the basic stuff like an intake system 2.5 inch catback. But i plan on the b6t very very soon. So the AFC2 is awesome? I hadnot heard anything about it yet.
