K-Singh 9 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 alf1956 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alf1956 0 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 ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K-Singh 9 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 alf1956 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stoney871 8,139 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 alf1956 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
