These resistor things for more bhp??

[Jon_Doe]

ok, so on ebay people are selling these resistor things to tell the engine that the air is cold- then gives the car more fuel...

Although i would loveto know your opinions on these i would like to check the vts i just got hold of to make sure it HASNT got one as it smokes a fair bit and overfuelling could be a cause.

So where would it be? (The more detailed the better!)
Thanks

Yea theyre obivously a bad idea mate, i belive they are connected to the wire which comes out of the left hand lide of the block, just below the rocker cover seal The connector is green i think, i think the resistor is connected on that wire
