i've never heard of this, and they dont even say what it does, or how it works, it just advances timing and gives you 20 hp, weird. . . [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

This is crap. A friend of mine bought something like this. It is indeed a resistor that you put on something for the ecu which tells the ecu that your getting more air than you really are, so it spits out more gas than normal to compensate. Which is stupid considering you really arent getting that air, so your wasting gas. Its crap, and a waste of time.

Wouldn't that make you run rich? Wouldn't that over time harm your engine?

Too bad it's fake... 20hp for $0.01 would be the most cost effective hp gain I've ever seen [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

I would think you would foul the plugs and the O2 sensor would get lost and eventually get corroded over???
