Naah, complete jizz, its another - MAF bluffer, 'takes only 5 mins to fit and tells your ECU that your vehicle is sucking in air at a different temperature' Mmmm Righto

£25 for 25 horses, okay I'll have 10 :lol:

it's doing the same as "the resistor mod" just fooling your ecu into thinking that the air coming in is colder (it says that in the ad)

so, in a nutshell you'd be paying £25 for this thing to do the job that a resistor could do!!!

note - i wouldnt recommend the resistor mod either :thumbright:

possibly

but they do also have a nice big disclaimer saying that any damage caused is at the installer's (ie your) responsibility

It wont damage the engine, will just run rich. They are a complete load of crap. I turned down the fuel pressure and got more power! Too much fuel will loose you power.

in theory a leaner mixture is more powerfull, but a lot hotter, ...
Even more so it it has a turbo on her.
