What a bargin, I might not go for the Lotus approved ECU upgrade now, who needs the cam change point lower than 6200 when you've got an extra 25 BHP to play with?

And "all for £4.99"? Tremendous.

When an advert contains that phrase it's a bit of a give-away that the product will invariably be st.

Rather like 'K-Tel presents....', or 'From the world of fashion and beauty....' or 'real gold'.

All it does is makes the ECU think there isn't as much air getting in as there actually is, as it reduces the voltage from the MAF sensor to ECU.

No they don't, i thought a fiver was worth a punt but it just popped on my MIL light and kangaroo'd the car down the road. If i recall it fits in the ECT sensor and tricks the ECU into thinking it's running cold all the time therefore pumping in extra fuel as it would from a cold start!

Save your money and ignore ebay TAT as i should have done.
