Mmmm ? not sure about this one. Other chips are cheaper and mapped to your mods.....

I thought it was originally just a posh take on the inline resistor mod that the escort and astra boys were fooled with as a plug and play performance mod for silly amounts of money, but i think it goes further than that.. just?

OMG - how much
It doesn't provide a new map - just gives a false intake temp to change the points on the current map.
Advert uses a load of BS technobabble - some parts are correct but used without relevance.
Why shell out for that POS when you can buy a very good Gabro chip for about half the price?

And is very poorly written/translated. How much faith would you have in an outfit which can't be bothered to proof-read its own copy?

So it is a posh resistor mod then!
Dyno-BOOST performance chip tricks the ECU thinking the intake air much more cooler
I was searching 'Aprilia Chip' on ebay and that came up.. I suppose someone will buy one but like you say, why, when gabro etc do the business properly for half the price..

Snake oil
Unless you can get a renegade or similar - and can set it up correctly then getting a gabro that goes with your own selection of mods is, IMHO the way to go
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Well ill update the chip test post a bit later buy am switching to the Forza Aprilia today from the dr Rossi and then gabro after that. I can really see the advantage in the chips but also that if you can get in touch with the people you have more chance of getting a more exact setup
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock
