the 30 cent performance boost

this actually would apply to any car not MAF setup.
simply take your intake air temp sensor plug and stick a 15k resistor or so in it, tape it up leaving the sensor not plugged into it and tell me you dont feel a difference !

Isn't that the trick where you make your car feel like colder air is coming in? I'm not sure how great this is for your car!

And i believe this has been discussed before.

well... so you prolly add a couple hp... for 5$, however, with the huge loss in mpg and the gas prices these days. def. not worth it in my book. just my .02 on a .30 "power adder"

all that does is trick the ecu to send more fuel, so youre running rich, which is bad for the the cat, and messes up the air/fuel ratio, the power added is all in your head

retard

which is alot safer than you think. the enrichment that is added is not enough to screw up your cat. You are not changing pwm you are changing base adv.. Apparently Im wasting my time with this forum of retards.

goodbye.
