you usually get what you pay for. if you pay **** expect to get a **** product

i'm pretty sure that VT onwards are a reprogrammable ECU so no need for a chip. Just reprogramme the one you have. i've seen some places mentioned in car magazines that do it.

well i dont know what you searched for but its been well covered many times...
it does work in the theory that it lies to the pcm and says the air coming in is actually cooler than it is...which leads to running rich and overall its just not good for the engine (i mean those sensors are there for a purpose).
in short, its a really dodgy product which for the smallest amount of power increases it provides isnt worth it...but if you wanna give it a try, go for it.

If you want a 10ohm resistor go to DSE or jaycar or somewhere and get one for 6c lol

well for starters the blokes got a vr...also this "intake chip" isnt a memcal/chip...its just a dodgy resistor.

Don't buy one, I bought this info and resistor when it was worth like $2. Fitted it to my V6, did nothing at all to performance on a hot day, the next COLD morning my car felt like an even bigger slug than the other HOTTER day so I decided to toss the 6c resistor and go back to variable timming and computer control.

don't touch it. the car will be running rich, doing all sorts of damage to your car. it'll cook your exhaust, plugs, and CAT.
