air temp sensor modification???
ok guys ive seen it on ebay alot now most claiming alot of hp, but heres my question
it looks like they just add a resistor and trick the computer thinking its colder air adding more fuel, so is this gonna make it run rich??
what is with this mod a stupid r i c e r mod or a real deal mod?
any drawbacks

One word DON'T!
It's a really bad mod that will just make your car run worse. Like you said, it is just a resistor to make you ECM think it is colder then it really is so it runs richer. This is just all around a bad idea. You want the ECM to control the mixture accurately not with miss information, save the money and put it towards PROM burning equipment.
