SLR Performance Chips

I was thinking of installing one of these. Does anyone here have one installed and if so how is it working. Here are some specs I found:

• Add 50+ HP ( Vehicles with Larger engines
produce more HP)
• Add 50+ TQ ( Vehicles with Larger engines
produce more TQ)
• Save 3-6+ MPG
• Faster 0-60 Time
• Improved mid-range power
• More power for towing
• Smoother Shifting
• Smoother IDLE
• Reduced overall engine stress
• Up to 40% Quicker Throttle Response time
• Pays for itself with gas savings
• Improved Top End Power
• Improved Low end Torque

LMAO, if this thing gave 50hp/tq for $70. everyone in america would have it

Oh and:
Q: My vehicle is Turbo/Supercharged will the module work?
A: No, we build our chip strictly for engines not equipped with a turbo or supercharger. We can build custom chip for specific turbo/supercharged vehicles, please contact us for more info. Our custom chip for Turbo/Supercharged vehicles are built for specific timing, boost and other modifications.

our cars don't use chips. It would have to be a reprogrammed ECU or a piggyback/inline module, which I have not seen for cobalt ss/sc or turbo.
