STAY AWAY
all it does is tell the ECU the air is colder than it really is, so you will have a richer fuel mixture.
it won't give big power gains, all it will do is naff your engine in the long run.
by the way the resistors can be bought for pence apparently.

20 BHP from a resistor!!!!! - for 6 quid......
Sceptical is an understatement.
I really doubt that it would work.
I don't own this anymore - I just can't be arsed to change the picture

some people still can't grasp the concept of making power. Air and fuel people  ;)

running rich or lean is bad. If not for the engine for your wallet  ;D
