i would like to know, i was just saying it probably shortens then life cause its some dodgy resistor in the air valve tricking the ecu or something like that.

yeah, well it tricks yes. but no different from how the original engine managment works.
all it does is fool the ecu into thinking that the engine is still cold so it puts more fuel in

would that be it:
When the Air Temperature Sensor sends a signal to the ECU it alters the amount of fuel mixture and advances or retards the engine timing depending on the air temperature going through the air intake, you might have noticed a considerable increase in power when the air is cold outside the car, like early morning when the car seems to fly, this resistor once fitted, gives the same signal to the ECU like the cold air signal, so the ECU adjust the fuel mixture, and slightly advances the timing giving a 5-20 BHP increase all the time! Although you will notice a power increase straight away, it is still within the manufactures parameters so you will not cause any damage to your engine. Just enjoy and benefit from better throttle response, smoother acceleration, improved 0-60 time, and better top end speed

So it overfuels the car then.

erm, no, lol. it needs all the petrol due to the rediculous amount of boost it seems to run at the mo.
any less of the fuel and bang, there goes the engine.........

So why is our product different? Its not; it is a simple RESISTOR that would cost about 20p to buy, but then a 20p resistor is no good to anyone if it has the wrong resistance, it quite simply wouldnt work, plus most people wouldnt know exactly where it needs to be fitted. Its a bit like buying a DVD for £17.99 the disk cost about 50p, so the information on the disk (the film) is what you are paying for.

Fiat punto pram 0-60 time down from 11.3 to 8.2
Wow, that's me sold. I'm gonna buy three.
Gonna get me some of those £635 worth of other excellent upgrades too. The ones that gave an additional 24 horsepower just by bolting them onto a mundano.
This man obviously knows his stuff and is a WINNER.
