Fully agree. Just had a look at that website.
+35hp for 500€ and in 5 minutes time ... if something sounds too good to be true, most of the time it isn't true !
Getting more hp's out of a modern naturally aspired engine isn't that easy.
Just look at what a +50 to +80 turbocompressor kit costs (overall level 10k-ish).
Air intake, remap and a FULL supersprint (engine port to final muffler) adds you roughly those 30-35hp. But a full supersprint costs 5000€.
In NA tuning you can do limited things, you need to burn more fuel and for big gains make more rpm's. In both cases you need to be able to bring in the fresh air, and get the combustion gases through the exhaust. Doing that without blowing up the engine, that's the art ! Getting HP's out is at the end not that difficult, getting then whilst maintaining reliability though ...
Not to mention things like uprating cluch, cooling system, engine bearings, con rods, leightweight flywheel and pulleys, prop shaft, ... and then you can start working on the suspention (... and brakes, and frame, ...).
Heavy engine tuning, you know where you start, but you never know where it'll end. The only thing you know is that it won't be cheap!
But let us know how well the thing works if ever you install it!
