Default ECU Intake mod

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Intake-mod-Ch...QQcmdZViewItem

Hes feedback seems all positive ....so im assuming it all works ...$18 .... not really much to lose by trying ...

anybody stuck this resistor in yet?

15kw additional power is quite substantial for $18 if you ask me .....

This query comes up every couple of months somewhere. Its a hoax. The resistor will make the Air temp sensor beleive that the air is colder. this will bump up the power a tiny amout as the ECU remaps. It only does this for a while until the ECU recalibrates and everything goes back to normal becasue it realises that the resistor is tricking it and its getting a flase reading.
