I pointed out that the black paint was acting as insulation and stopping the IR sensor getting a true reading of the surface temperature and that the true test was of the air inside the IC via the IC sensor, not the surface temperature of the IC. When he tried suggesting that this wouldn't work as the sensor was prior to the IC and not after it, I gave up. I personally wouldn't buy something from somebody who can't get the physics of IC cooling correct.
In any case did you buy any of his stuff?

I really, really, REALLY don't like the notion that his products 'work' on the basis of hear-say and reviews from customers.
I'll remain skeptical but the dyno test results are interesting to say nonetheless.

I won't say snakeskin oil just yet but wouldn't mind trying to test some of the products objectively as possible, having a D5 what most interests me are the injector cleaner and diesel power plus.
The latter of which may be testable via OBDII data logging.
