I have his prototype intake on my car... Works fine... I had to do some additional mods to secure it properly, but aside from that... I'm a happy camper... I haven't seen, or heard from SASKINS in months... And noticed he's not posting here anymore... Don't attach my name to that...

But if you want "BORDERLINE" shady... Geeze, when I went to the guys who rep POWERCHIP in LA a few months ago... I was freaked... I don't want to blast anyone, but this was a shady operation... I even had to help the tech get the ECU out and re-plug the wire harness'... And then, when they flashed the chip, and reinstalled it, it went hay-wire for a few minutes until they did a "check engine light" software hack that the "Aussy" "Owner" of the company had to explain to the "Dutch" tech how to download and install...

They work out of some wacky office that looks like it is a furniture warehouse, not an automotive company... And, they couldn't even provide me with a receipt for the $640... I insisted that they hand write one on a piece of paper... I did get a printed receipt in the mail about two weeks later...

My guess is that the programs were ripped by someone and these guys just think they know what they're doing... But, it seems to work fine and the car has more pep... Or, maybe it's the Klotz...
