If this is another junk video by those Aussie's, they're idiots. They test crap they bought on eBay and then use this to condemn a whole category of mods. They did a video "busting" pod filters bolted directly to a factory intake pipe. They then insinuated that intakes are a waste of money. Well no, intakes are not a waste of money. Buying a $15 pod filter on eBay and bolting it to your intake is a waste of money. Likewise, buying a "resistor in a box" that splices into your IAT sensor and does nothing does not mean a real "performance chip" is a waste of money.

The chip is for a MAF car, then they just spliced it into the the MAP wiring expecting it to work. I don't know enough about the s2k to really debunk this, but I can't imagine the input voltage to be similar. They set the test up to fail imho
