I have heard of this, and of course I believe you. However in my car I had Bosch, and the Permatune unit is in fact of lesser quality as it failed rapidly despite my vehicle passing their ground tests. Other's have had similar results. Perhaps this is why they use Bosch units. My ancient Bosch unit still works. Also Permatune's claim to power increases doesn't appear to be substantiated. I would have loved it if it did everything they claimed. It didn't come close, and they seemed unconcerned.

Fair enough.
Perhaps I am thinking of shipping charges if I want the box returned to me.
