getting tired of random scam s**t on ebay..

Simple resistor mod. Essentially your IAT (Intake Air Temp) sensor is a resistor that as the temperature of air changes the resistance changes allowing the computer to get a reading of the actual temperature of air being drawn in.

When you install the resistor provided it tricks the computer into thinking the air is colder than it actually is therefore telling it to add more fuel to the mixture.

Not sure I'd be trusting them to figure out which resistor you actually need. And I'm not sure i'd try it on our cars. (someone else that's more knowledgable in the SC'd field can chime in)

not more fuel, it adds more timing.

Okay didn't realize it doesn't in ours. I know some of the older cars it would.

i have seen 50+ hp claims on chips. its all advertising so they can make money when if u actually wanted to do it u can get a resistor from radio shack for like a buck

STUPID!

If you do it I'll laugh you out of here

This right here is a driver arrogance mod. Increase ignorance and stupidity by 20 humor points and laugh your ass off as he talks **** to you.

Atleast his price and shipping is cheap. For $1.04 like it is being sold at currently, with cheap shipping, its almost worth buying to see if it actully does anything! I just won't buy a McDonalds lunch this week :P

(ive seen the same thing for over 50$ and 40$ shipping cost)

who said anything about doing it?

Remember a few people in my area used to buy those resister mods.. the good old days lol.
