I got one on my old Rover 214 and can honestly say it really worked!

I out-dragged a Skyline Lemans - supposed to be nearly 900bhp.  Walked him like he stood still.  I then entered F1 and won the world championship, smashing every lap record for every circuit ever made.
I did it all one only half a tank of petrol too, because I get such good economy I never need to fill up.  And all for only £4.99 (plus £2.95 p+p) from ebay.
So don't knock it until you've tried it...

I recently got sick of the millions of "resistor mods" on ebay and emailed one prolific seller, he told me:

"It tricks your car in to finkin that the engine is cold and does in fact can be more economical try it and find d out!!! DONT ASSUME UNTIL U HAVE TRIED"

I considered myself told and subsequently installed a resistor inline with the megasquirt IAT and saw a 30hp gain.... Honest.... pmsl.

in theory it should work, but not with that lump of crap in ur inlet, it'll just restrict the flow.
bless..... some people  :D

Its a controversial theory to start with, and even then its meant to be done right before the air enters the cyl - not back up at the  start of the intake where the air has time to straighten itself out again anyway.
