Do people really buy this junk?...

Do people honestly buy this crap and expect it to actaully work? like seriously everyone knows maybe 95% of stuff sold on ebay is jsut junk. But really i wanna c what this does to a cobalt, probably codes up the ass is my guess.

I hope people don't buy junk like that... LOL
Quoted from that listing:
" This is a resistor that will plug into your AIT(air intake temp) sensor and modify your AIR/Fuel ratio and slightly change your engine timing to run stronger and with increased power "
That means all they are selling is a simple resistor, and the purpose being to falsify air intake temp readings which of course fools the car's computer into thinking conditions are different than they actually are, causing different AFR etc. resulting in "different" performance...
it probably does at least alter settings.. but wether it is good or bad.. either way it is the wrong way to mod any car.
If the comp thinks the air is 53 degrees when it is actually 103 it could likely be not good for the car.

I just like to take corn and sugar, and let it ferment for about a week in 70* weather, then I run it through a still I made from copper tubing and a tea kettle. I render the alcohol and 50/50 it with 93 octane gas and run it in my car......
its swank......
P.S.-I'll also sell you a mason jar of it for your next frat party, haha....
