Sprinter computer chip

Hello gang !

Any opinion on those engine improvement chip ? Their website promise you an increase of HP from 188 to 217 and an increase of the torque too. Plus an improvement of the MPG of 2 to 4 miles per galon.

My goal is not to really save on money (imagine saving 3 MPG to pay a $600 chip) but I would like a little bit more torque and power when pulling the tow-car.

So, Bullshit or Miracle ?

On a diesel engine using a chip or reprograming the power control module can provide some great increases in HP and fuel mileage while eliminating turbo lag. That price seems to be kind of high (as compared to the power stroke I had) however you are taking about a MB engine.
