I know this has been covered on the small MAF resistors many times, but this is something new that I haven't seen before. What is it like a piggy back module similar to a Greddy or JWT ecu replacment? Has anyone ever used one of these and do they work? Anyone think they could damage anything? Hmmm.....I wonder.

naturally, i would say it doesnt work. i have never heard of it however, and it may very well in fact work. I doubt it though.

I strongly disagree. Because I categorize mods in $$/hp ratio. And thing that are $100/hp I refuse to buy. This would include extrude honed intake manifold, a bigger throttle body, and other *useless* crap.

Exhaust $500 for 15hp. That's $33/hp.
Intake $150 for 3hp. $50/hp.
Turbo kit $2000 for 70hp. That's $28.50/hp.
Nitrous kit $500 for 100hp. $5/hp.

I can't figure out where that's supposed to go. However, it doesn't take much brainpower to figure out that any product that goes into your wiring and brags about "Soldering NOT required" is worthless.
My best guess at it? A resistor that you splice into the IAT sensor.

I'm not planning on buying this item at all...never was. I was just simply wondering what some of your inputs were.
