this can be done by using a resistor in your IAT to fool the computer that the incoming air is colder .... and cost <5 bucks

If you think that chip is good, check out this on
ebay:

It promises 130 HP and 40 mpg. I'm going to order 2, and thumb my nose at all those prius owners!

We DO have fun with these promises of "unlimited power", don't we?

As this is my 4th post, I don't claim to speak for "we", but I do get offended when some ebay jagoff assumes that people are stupid and/or tries to take advantage of people that don't know better.

Peace, my friend. We're all offended, but, what can we do? We simply make fun of them and know our buddies on the forum will understand that it's a "shill" to be ignored.

And, just so you'll know - I've said this before: Back in the 70's, I bought one of those in-line fuel atomizers guaranteed to increase horsepower by 20% and mileage by about the same amount. Of course it didn't do anything except lighten my wallet. So, I've learned, and, I can laugh at myself now. And, it's easy to laugh at the new versions of these "miracle" devices too.

Was I stupid then? You bet! Did I learn from that experience? Guess!
