"By fooling your computer and letting it think that you are sucking air at a different temperature."

wow, people like this really piss me off.. if anyone gets a chance, send the guy an email and report him to ebay for false advertising, i will be in a few minutes.. i know if people buy it, they kinda deserve it, for being so ignorant, but this is BS.. i cant believe some people can make money off people by doing things like this.

EDIT: email sent to ebay regarding this, and things like it, and to the seller.

Yeah well ppl do believe this stuff..i did believe aswel until i researched..i mean, look with the eyes of a person who doesnt know sh1t about cars..what do u expect them to do? Ofc they will buy the thing, install it, find out that it doesnt work and probably think they did something wrong with the install. It just written up all nice to make it sound nice, thats about it...

my personal favorite, is the guy on ebay that sells the "throttle body coolant bypass kit". appearently, it gives 6-8 horsepower at the wheels. when i did mine, i don't remember getting any extra parts. matter of fact i took parts away to do the coolant bypass. one of the funniest parts is the pic of the kit-... one hose, 4 hose clamps, and one barb to barb fitting (best name i can give it).
