Default Performance Chip on Ebay.

This chip (just a fixed resister) replaces the thermal resister(IAT) with the resistance there would be at 50 degrees F. So the computer thinks there is always 50 degree air coming in. Is this better than relocating the IAT? Would this have long term effects on the engine? Mabey short term just for racetime would be OK? What do you think? You can buy this resister for $0.10 at an electronics store.

It may be of some benefit at WOT since your SD system uses the IAT to control fuel flow.

However I feel that giving the ECM a truer intake air temp reading is the way to go.

You DO not want to mess with the IAT on a SD car. Stay away from it! :cheers:
