31709, intake censer's

Does anybody know if those censer's that you put in yor intake work? I think the censer tell your car's computer that the air coming in is cooler then it is. And if so, is it safe for the car?

It's "Sensor."

You're talking about the EBay bullshit resistor mod, right? Do you really want to pay that much money for nothing?

it's crap. Total crap. Spend your money elsewhere.

If you really believe in this sensor thing, you might as well run your air conditioning straight to your intake. Our car in non turbo form does not benefit from any type of electrical mod or enhancement.

There are MANY "electrical" mods that can be done (AFC, ITC, etc) that will benefit, but simply adding a resistor to the intake air sensor isn't going to do a damn bit of good - the ecu doesn't rely on that sensor for any major adjustment.

Well, I guess I'm just saying that he would have better luck with acrual bold on's than the electrical mods. And at the place "most" of us with few bolt on's are at, most electrical enhancements like the AFC prolly won't give as much improvement as an exhast or intake would.
