    its all to do with changing the ECU parameters.
    If it costs not a lot it ain worth ir (IMO)
    It will be a little resistor whic you will have to connect somewhere and then u will be looking for a difference.
    Scrappage.....love it!!

    there you go, the old resistor across the maf sensor terminals trick, makes the ecu think the air temperature is lower that it actually is so the ecu adds more fuel

    It did make me chuckle, especially where it says that it's not for turbo or diesel models, then when you look down the list of cars you see that you can use it on the XC90. I challenge anyone to find me a normally aspirated XC90 in the UK!!!

    And postage costs 20 times the value of the component itself!!! Truly amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
