MG MGF Technical - performance mod!!!!!

Has anyone tried one of those engine performance mods that appear to be becomming popular on ebay, estimating a 15 bhp improvement for only £5!!!, or is it just another con?

I think we are all waiting for some brave and/or rich person to take a chance, buy one and report back.

Are you that person? It is only a fiver.

£5=15p resistor, add to air intake and the ecu thinks that the air going into the engine is cooler and so puts in more fuel, more fuel = more power, because running lean is something that the evil boys at MGR do to slow you down right?

WRONG
Will Munns

Will is correct.... you are buying a 15p resistor for £5....all you will do is use more fuel and burn out your valves much faster.
No performance enhancement will be gained.
