At such a small cost it's tempting, but I think I'm also in the "Wait and see" camp.

If I'm not mistaken, this plugs into the air intake sensor and fools the computer into thinking the engine is receiving cold air. There are other cheaper mods out there too like this but who knows if they work??

Once my boss bought something like this on ebay and he ended up receiving a resistor and a piece of paper telling him where to solder it. He was pi$$ed and I was laughing my a$$ off!

THe funny thing about this resistor crap is that if it does anything at all it's only for a few seconds. The fuel trims will re correct the mixture and you will be right back where you started.

Our ECU doesn't use the IAT sensor for ignition advance or injector pulsewidth. I still haven't found if it uses it for ANYTHING.

You'd be better off sticking it inline with the coolant temp sensor.

What a scam. As soon as something says "Nissan Maxima, ALL MODELS" I move on. We all know how different all the engines are, there's no way they're making chips for all of em...I think Stillen would have made one already if the crap actually worked. Don't throw your $30 away....Send it to me if you really want to.
