I too would be interested to hear people's opinions. It seems a bit too good to be true imo. But hey, you never know.

As long as it doesnt f up the engine or decrease MPG, ill be interested....

Here is a quote from the advertised product:

Technical Details
Universal Fitment for ALL EFi Petrol Engines. Can be changed from vehicle to vehicle
More BHP & Torque - Up To an extra 15BHP Power Increase
Quicker 0-60
Better Throttle Response & Smoothes Flat Spots
Can Increase MPG. The best bhp per £ available ANYWHERE!

Now pay particular attention to the Red highlighted wording!

EFI is an acronym for: Electronic fuel injection, this denotes port injection, and not GDI (gasoline direct injection) like you have on your THP 150 engine.

Thinking about it, id rather not tinker around with the engine...

Wouldn't Touch It With A 10ft Pole !

They're Nasty Bits Of Kit

Just another variation of the old "ebay resistor"! All it does is fool the ECU into thinking the engine is running colder than it actually is & enriching the mixture to compensate. In all probability the exhaust lambda probes will see an over-rich mixture & lean it down to get back to the correct level, thus cancelling any effect the resistor may have had; if not, all you'll see is more black smoke & an increase in fuel consumption - it's the same effect as driving an old carburetor-fitted car with the choke partially out.

Don't waste your money - you're paying a tenner for a 1p resistor!

Agree with the rest of the team here...

Pole, barge, 10ft are words that spring to mind!

[cyclone]

yeah what they said... would rather slit my own throat with a straight razor than use a thing like that.

^ Lol!!

Think I would prefer to quote Rimmer from Red Dwarf,

"Its about as safe as putting your love tackle in a lions mouth and whipping him in the love spuds with a wet towel"
