K-Singh Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Avoid them they simply trick the ecu into thinking the outside air is colder than it really is causing the car to over-fuel Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf1956 Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 thank you for your reply. it seems strange that they claim to increase mpg if all it does is over fuel as over fueling will give you less mpg surely ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Singh Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 None of the claims they make are true they are simply variable resistors in a box. Do a google search for "IAT resistor mod" it will explain how they work Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Look for good quality tuning boxes. I fitted one for my oppo a short while back and he's more than happy plus his fuel economy has improved by about 5% too. http://www.tdi-tuning.co.uk/?wnd_traffic_source=google&wnd_campaign_medium=cpc&wnd_campaign_name=TDITuningBrandUK&wnd_keyword=www%20tdi%20tuning%20co%20uk&wnd_match_type=p&gclid=CNfT5p3h7b0CFWzJtAodxlcAXg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
