I like how he also adds "To be sure of the full performance gains offered by this device I recommend also fitting a free flowing air filter (such as those made by Pipercross and K&N) at the same time."

Seen these before.

Totally genuine (as far as they're concerned).

Connects to the coolant temp sensor, and fools the ECU into changing the map re: coolant temp......

Forget ported heads, cams, carbs - this is where it's at for old skool tuning

If this is indeed fooling the ECU into adding more fuel then your engine will be running rich am i right?, so im guessing coupled with a boot controller to add more boost then perhaps it may work?

PSML

Did it ever occur to them that running rich doesn't give you more power, if you aint got enough air in the cylinders then it ain't going to burn, and just go though your exhaust heat up your catalyst and send your HC and CO emissions through the roof.

Perhaps on a Mundano or shopping trolley it may work due to the lean burn engine characteristics. Or maybe not - the oxygen sensor on the closed loop control will try and compensate and just lean it back out again, and probably flash up a fault code in the process.

The average scoob runs pretty rich as it is on full boost. Although, in addition to a AFR metre it maybe handy if you have a dodgy MAF sensor leaning things out, or you need some form of manual DET control So, save your pistons it will, more BHP, not much, if any a loss in BHP is possible on a scoob!

As a note...for "real" enrichment connect it to the CTS (coolant) sensor instead of the ATS and get things really cooking !

This ingenious system works by fooling your cars electronic control unit (ECU) into thinking the incoming air is colder than it really is - by up to 40 degrees! This makes the ECU supply more fuel to the cylinders which gives you much more power!
I wonder if they cover the cost of a new engine in that
'Guarenteed to work for the first 100 miles before a new engine is required'

lol! no doubt some muppet has bought one

I wonder if this is a typo and should read "doesn't"...

"It does require messing about with the ECU or any of its wiring."
