Hardly if the advert states as seen in the 2004 Max Power magazine. Another pile of old tosh. They do try.

I've got one on the RS.



















































Not.

It will modify any standard ECU by telling the ECU that the incoming air in the intake system is cold and so advances the ignition by up to 2 degrees with more fuelling to compensate, therefore producing more power. It will be more responsive and you WILL LIKE IT.[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT]

Overfuelling is bad, mmmkay!!!

 

[T9 man]

More rubbish! and the advert states '101 sold' :sad2:

Other items the muppet will buy from eBay include M3 replica mirrors and Viper stripes!

These chips have been floating round for a while unfortunately.

Was that by any chance a Lancia Delta with a little button under the steering colom?? Cos that is the only one I have seen. Oh, and Clarksons little button on his Miti when they did that coup for under a grand challenge. :bigsmile:

The quote you put up, That just proves it floods the eingine!!!! Half the time, less fuel is better! Its quite a complicated procedure, and I don't think they should be allowed to sell them.

I think we should find a donkey to buy one and see what happens. Who has the worst car on TC to try it out?? :blink1::bigsmile:

I tried one of those resistor things a few years ago on a 1.4 Rover 200.
It did absolutely nothing for performance but it did make it backfire on kickdown and it used to spit flames as well.

i think that'd be me. I'd be willing to use my car as long as the item is said for by another individual and i am bought another car. I've seen a lovely one on autotrader just £3.5k. Any offers?

I was kind of banking on a Skoda driver stepping forward!! lol :bigsmile:

(just wate for the skoda lovers to shout at me!)

 

[Jakeymd]

Don't think i've seen any on here. Do they exist?

T9 should try it on the KA.

 

[T9 man]

T9 should try it on the KA.

It's not much longer now! Another week or so and I can hand the thing back :bigsmile:
