performance module?

[riironman]

has anyone used a performance module that just hooks up to the iat sensor....it says no harm to the motor but...i am unsure. i will use it even if it gives me 5 more hp. the one i purchased is platinum performance. now how legit is it?

Sorry to hear that if it's the one off E-bay. If it wants you to cut the lead to the IAT, don't bother. It is a pc board in a plastic box with a fancy sticker on it, but all it does is jumper the cut lead back together. Same thing as cutting the wire and twisting it back together.

I've seen them claim as much as 15 hp gains.

 

[riironman]

yeah but if twist the wires back together the fi light will stay on.

 

[bronc3]

It is as if you cut the wires and simply put another piece of wire in between. No change, just a splice in your harness.

 

[riironman]

did u do the mod urself?? just wondering it is is worth it.

 

[bronc3]

If it is the same piece I am thinking of, it is a scam.

SCAM and nothing more. A thief on ebay and that is it.

Sorry to say you wasted your money cutting a wire and then splicing it right back together with a shunt.

One word...

SCAM

 

[riironman]

i am a sucker........but the question is....will splicing the wires give more horses?

 

[bronc3]

No, it will not. Not trying to slam anyone, just want to warn others about this.

Gotta admit it's clever in a dishonest, twisted kind of way. Even posts up pics of it's internals.
