What do you knowledgeable fellas think?

Utter junk, all it does it fool the ECU into thinking the air-temp is colder than it is. The ECU will soon re-learn, and it becomes useless.
Your better spending that £4.99 on a bottle of Forte or Redex....

No.
Its a simple resistor, just to fool ecu that coolant is cooler, hence run richer. It will screw economy, and I guess the cats eventually.

cheers - had to be a catch as always with ebay.

I noticed they do a fuel saver kit that allegedly reduces fuel consumption by 24% without compromise to performance...
too good to be true i reckon!

The only way to re-map an older style ECU is to change the chip, hence anyone who claims to be able to fit something without opening the ECU is a fraud.
The newer ones are flashable but you still need some serious kit to re-flash the firmware and a lot of effort needs to go into modifying the map.
