Called Microsoft tech support...

I called Microsoft tech support because I was having trouble setting up my Microsoft Wi Fi network. While I was waiting for the firmware to update in the base station he told me about how his friend had modded his Xbox to run a Linux server. A Microsoft rep telling me about his friend setting up a Linux server with his Xbox? What?!

Must have been Ameesh, everyone knows he may attack Linux, but is actually deeply in love with it! 😉

I am willing to bet that at least some part of MS product support is outsourced to other companies and that's what you stumbled upon.

ECU mod? Does it really increase 40hp? Sounds BS to me.

On a turbo motor that's not at all unusual. Adjsut the settings for the electronic boost controller, more boost, more power.
