I call BS!

It's probably a fixed value resistor mod for either the IAT or ECT. You can do the these mods yourself for far less than $20. I've outlined the ECT mod in the tech section here at YotaTech. Changing the IAT does nothing for performance on these engines.

I agree- totatl BS. I emailed the seller, he says its "custom chip," no known manufacturer (probably himself that's making it.

I'll beat that deal! For only $9.99, I'll fax you a copy of Dr. Z's write up!

Yeah, I agree, its BS.
