hahaha that gave me a good laugh

You might as well just go ahead and buy it, and stop driving so slowly.

 

hell just goto radioshack and get a resistor for 15 cents and it'll do the exact same thing as that thing, but seriously it is a ripoff dont do it

 

So in other words....Resistance is futile.

(sorry for the star trek reference...I couldn't resist)

 

you will be assemilated!!

 

I think it's funny that they went through the effort of putting the resistor in a little black box to make it look more official. Open that box up and all it's gonna be is those two wires with a resistorbetween them.

Tricking the PCM like this will technically cause the motor to run with more timing advance than it normally would for what the "real" outside air temperature reading is. It's just moving you to a different place on the timing map than you really should be. I could see this giving you maybe like 1 or 2 hp gains than without it, but no way anything you would feel by the seat of your pants.

Save your $... it's a waste.

 

For What Its Worth:

If it is a "micro" or "nano" resister, it is considered a chip. It doesn't have to have transistors to necessarily qualify as a chip.

I just has to be manufactured through the photo chemical process and it becomes a "chip."

 

This thing works great. Makes the car $10 lighter. [sm=smiley35.gif]

 

i wish whoever made that Turbomag X-T Advertisement would put it back up.... (somebody call Space)
you would pick up the exact same thing by burning an Alexander Hamilton (he's on every American $10) and put it in your ash tray...
