Actually, I was just wondering what type of resistor they use for the gains of "up to 20 hp!!!" I may get more tommorow (no school) and I am looking for a cheap way to entertain myself for a half hour or so. Will any radio shack resistor work? How much resistance? I think I have the color codes down. Im not expecting more power, I want to do this just for a kick.

Actually it does work. Have you noticed that your n/a PT is more powerful on colder days then hotter days? It's because the PCM advances the timing to better burn the fuel. The resistor makes the PCM thing the air coming in is cold and advances the timing. The cost of the PCM advancing timing? A lost of 1-2 miles per gallon. The gain? A nice little kick! And if you have a K&N Filter, then the kick will be stronger.
