They are timing advance resistors. Basically, it tells your ecu that your intake is recieving colder air.

Do they work?

NO. The ECU only uses the air temp sensor as a reference to ensure that all it's primary readings are within range. Changing this resistance will not get any HP gains.

Don't even bother with them.
