The poor OP almost got suckered into buying one.

Yeah, right. I've probably had more VW's than years you've been alive. Certainly, more high-performance turbo cars.

That's also my feeling. Perhaps you can chat with them. I certainly don't know enough to talk intelligently with them.

And yet you thought the product was legitimate. Perhaps you should purchase one after all.

I don't think that device is flashing the ECU. It looks like it remains in the OBD2 port and intercepts the signals and modifies them like a JB4 would except nowhere near as good.

Looks like a total waste of money.

The signals coming from the OBD port don't flow backwards to the sensors. Even VCDS and ODIS don't have that capability.

And you thought it could operate like a JB4. Since you never know what someone might have come up with, I was asking for expert opinions. I worked on military electronics before IC's, so my knowledge is not SOTA anymore.
