Never saw it myself but I was told my Shogun 3.2 DID warrier, with an automatic box, has one fitted to boost the power output to over 180bhp.
Does use more fuel because the idea of the new engine management unit is to add extra fuel to raise the 3D maps of the power curves, after all it is the same stock engine rated at less than 160bhp.
Based on my 4 years ownership of a another Shogun, which had a manual gear box, the Rallitronic unit is a nice piece of kit whenever I take the car to Europe. The increased output doesn't push up the top speed much but the car seems happy if the cruise control is set to 100mph in German autobahns.
I take it being a Mitsubishi approved performance enhancement kit the increased power should be within the safety margin of the engine design. Done 17k miles on it and no complaint. Lose about 1.5 mpg for the added performance I would say so economy drivers are better stick with a manual box without it..
