You put it in the bin, rather like the one most people keep under the sink or in a cupboard somewhere in the kitchen!

Seriously speaking this 'Air flow chip' is a cheap resistor (like less than a penny from maplins cheap!) that tricks your ECU into thinking that it is lovely and cold and it is sucking lots of air, the car will overfuel as a result, followed by short term power, long term bore wash, engine damage, hefty bill, red face, pretty much in that order.

Please do not use it.

Tony.
