Judging by the description this is another variation of the resistor modification to make it run richer.

Guess it may allow more fuel to be pumped in right across the rev range and at all loads, but no way would i fit one of those to my car!!! Guess it could throw out emissions, ruin the cat, ruin driveability etc etc etc

don't expect to get through an MOT with that on....

What a dumb device, as ^^ the cat won't work, your plugs will soot up and its just like pulling the choke out on a carb car

Another "Snake Oil" type of product.

I wouldnt fit one.

Best way is to remap the ECU if you can.

Or... Fit a Megasquirt... then you can play to your hearts content.
