Thornton Plug in Chips
Anyone had any experience with these things? They claim that their stage 3 chip that plugs in like a Range Device will add 65hp and improve gas mileage?
Sounds a little far fetched. EDIT: The brand is THORTON without the “n” but my auto correct is hell bent on adding it. |

Yeah the article outright proves it’s a Chinese toy that does nothing but take your money and provide some blinky lights to make you think it’s doing something.
They must be making money off these things because they are selling them from new and different areas all the time, usually with a name change. |

I still wouldn't flash a 2019+ tune into my 2018 unchanged, but one can easily get the diffs from stock in VCM Editor, which can then be applied piecemeal to an existing ECM tune from the "other side" of the refresh.

Rather silly to even simultaneously promise both those benefits, even in a scam ad. If there was a magic tune profile that could noticeably increase HP and at that same time decrease fuel consumption, wouldn't the OEM vehicle manufacturer have done that already?
Maybe it's worth me reconsidering selling magic beans. |
