Thorton Chip

[danno1]

Folks
I saw a Youtube post from someone who added the Thorton Chip. Got 60HP increase with just plugging it into the OBD2 port. Any feed back on this?

I don't have any personal experience, but it took me about 10 seconds to find this:

It's a scam, don't bother.

My k&n sticker gave me 50hp and a redbull sticker gave my car wings. I fly right by traffic now. Look into those OP!

OK OK.... I got it

That’s a great analysis though. I am curious what these scam boxes do from a circuitry perspective other than take some power to blink here and there

If it sounds too go to be true then it probably is. I tried one of these on my last car (elantra gt) because professional tuning wasn't available and I knew better but figured what the hell. It did nothing except make my throttle response jerky. Not better just jerky. If there was 60hp available then pro Tuners would have already found it for our platform. If you want to wake up a stock gt just tune for e85. Best bang for the buck.

This. By a mile.
