Sounds like BS to me.IF it worked that would be cool but I doubt it works.

Or you could just advance the timing yourself? I like how it tricks the ecu into thinking the air is colder, but waite, doesn't the air have to be more colder which makes it more dense, which makes more power? hmmmmmm

I ordered three, I hear if you get the ones with the blue blinking lights, it makes you shift faster as well? and adds 21 hp

Oh boy oh boy. Imagine what you could do with a $10 dollar bill and a stripped ford focus then.

Here is what they are selling (FREE INFO)



Purpose: Will increase your timing which will help improve your drag strip time. This mod has been shown to increase timing by as much as 1.5 degree's. This modification is NOT suggested to do if you have knock retard or detonation. When you are in an environment where the intake air temperature is below 57 °F this modification will not benefit your cars performance. These conditions will hurt performance instead of improving it.



1. Make sure your car is NOT running. Open the hood of your car and look in the front and center of the engine compartment. Locate the intake-air-temperature (IAT) sensor wire harness (see blue arrow in Figure 1).



2. Disconnect the wire harness from the IAT sensor (see Figure 2). Gently pull the tab out and lift the sensor out of the housing.



3. Take your resistor and shape it in the form of the letter "U" (see Figure 3).



4. Locate the tiny receptacles located in the IAT wire harness (see blue arrows in Figure 4).



5. Place one end of the resistor into one slot on the intake air temperature (IAT) wire harness receptacle (see Figure 5). The receptacles are metal and appear sliver in Figure 5 below. Do the same with the other end of the resistor and place it into the other IAT wire harness receptacle. The resistor will get deformed and probably appear squished. This is ok and not a problem.



6. Bend the resistor over then against the wire harness as shown in Figure 6.



7. If you plan on leaving this modification on your car when you drive around town, now is a good time to seal up the IAT wire harness (that has your resistor) and the IAT sensor (on the air box lid) using a small piece of a plastic grocery bag and electrical tape. If you plan to run this modification at the drag strip only than you will be just fine leaving everything the way it is right now. You might want to tape the resistor down to be sure it does not fall out. We have never had any problems with it falling out. Of course, there is always a first time and the drag strip is the last place you want to see the service engine soon (SES) light come on.



8. You want to make sure that the wire does not fall down and get caught up in your belt or pulley's. We suggest using a plastic zip tie to hold the wire up. We tied ours down through the tab on the wire harness and around the IAT sensor housing (see Figure 7). Obviously we do not have the ends sealed up. This is because we run this modification that the track only.



Comments: This modification is always a subject for a good debate. We verified using Auto Tap that the resistor makes the PCM think the car is taking in air with a temperature of 57 °F. We have no Auto Tap data to support the claim that timing is increased as much as 1.5 degrees. Those figures are based on the claims of many people who use this modification at the track.

You should be fine, I think the kit's universal, it fits every kind of POS out there
