Anyone try this?

RE: Anyone try this?
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.

Well, technically a resistor doesn't fit the definition of a chip. Sounds like false advertising to me. If I buy one, can I sue the guy for all he's worth? Or my ten bucks back? Which ever is greater.
(just kidding obviously)

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."

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...
