Intake sensor mod increase 20HPs??

Check out this item on Ebay. Will this sensor mod really increase the HP by 20?? Won't it damage the engine? It sounds like a scam.

Since i'm famous for doing this myself let me be the first *** to reem u about this. "try searching before you post, cause most likely your idea or complaint is not original." This topic has been discussed many times before so posting it again is a waste of msg board space. With that said, i'm bidding on that 20+ hp maf mod right now!!!!!!!!

My little brother bought one for his 240SX -

He brought it to me and was all psyched aobut it.

I helped him "install" it, and we went for a drive.

He didn't feel anything.

He has a buddy that works at a shop with a Dyno, so he gets free Dynos when the shop is having a slow day. He Dynoed his car th next week - and having done 0 mods (except this), lost about 3hp.

He took it out, re-ran on the Dyno, and got his 3hp back.

It makes your car SLOWER, believe it or not.

It angers me that anyone would even sell that. All it does is trick the ar into thinking it's colder out, which richens your fuel mixture, which slows you down.

Adding more fuel doesn't necessarily mean more power.

I took the liberty to report this auction to ebay. Hopefully it gets cancelled and the seller's account gets terminated.
