PLEASE ASK ANYONE IN THE MOTOR TRADE THESE THINGS DO NOT WORK THEY WILL DAMAGE YOU CARS CAT YOUR ENGINE AND EMISSIONS


THEY ARE RESISTORS THAT COST ABOUT 3P IN MAPLINS ELECTRONICS

THEY ARE NOT CHIPS OR INSTANT TUNING -- IF THEY WERE THAT GOOD WOULDNT EVERY CAR SHOP BE SELLING THEM??? WHY DONT THEY SELL THEM??? BECAUSE THEY RUIN YOUR CAR AND EVERYONE KNOWS THIS HENCE THE ONLY PLACE YOU CAN BUY THESE DODGY KITS IS FROM EBAY

THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT HAVE VOTED THIS GUIDE UNHELPFULL ARE ALL THE SELLERS OF THESE SO CALLED CHIPS IF YOU VOTE THIS HELPFULL IT WILL APEAR WHEN PEOPLE SEARCH AND WILL WARN THEM OF THE DANGERS AND MAYBE LET THEM KNOW ABOUT THESE CON MEN SELLING 3P RESISITORS FOR UP TO 20 POUNDS LOL


hiya hows it going thanks for reading this guide ill try to keep it short for you :-)

have you seen the cheap engine mods on ebay that promise 10hp-20hp gains from a item that costs 10 pounds?? or less??

well if you have SIMPLY AVOID THEM LIKE THE PLAUGE!! these so called engine mods will ruin your engine

if you think it could be done that cheap how would companys that sell proper super chips still be in buisness?? seriously dont risk your engine espeacially if you have a nice car

all they do is trick the ecu into thinking the engine is cold so its like permantley driving round with the choke on its useless!!! and not a very good idear at all!!! these power gains are advertised as chips but they are simply resistors that your jamming into your nice cars ecu you can get them for pennys if you want to do it!!which i wouldnt

these gadgets will increase your cars emissions and make it run rich so you could be looking at an mot faliure or long term engine damage as well.

i fitted one to a fiesta 1.25 zetec for 1 year the next year my car failed on emissions and it cost me alot of money to put right BE WARNED THESE BODGE JOBS CAN CAUSE DAMAGE DONT USE THEM

if you want a little more power buy a decent induction kit a full exhaust system a new manifold maybe some cams a proper super chip or maybe just a car with a bigger engine but for your sake please dont fit one of these dodgy resistors to your cars nice engine i did and i regretted it loads!!!

please vote for this if you find it usefull

sorry about spelling ive got to run the spellcheck

please tell your friends to tell their friends that these items will cause damage etc

thanks happy ebaying
