Broke down into simpler terms, it's doing the same thing a SAFC did 20 years ago. Taking signals and "tricking" the ECU to make changes based on false readings. You're making the ECU think it's at 5 psi when in fact it's at 10, and modifying the fuel in the same way. Not only is this unsafe, it's also just going to increase boost since the ECU will still monitor real time intake temps and timing tables and retard timing when the two don't match up. So you'll have the illusion of more power based off of more TQ but even less top end. This technology was outdated when it came out but since nobody could crack stock ECU's it's all we had without a stand alone like electromotive.
This is not a safe solution and at $700 it's way overpriced for a $10 printed board and LED screen.
