chris17house Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 I just saw one of these for the ES250 on ebay. Has anyone ever used this same product, or does anyone have an opinion about it? Here is a link to the description. I bought this one for my mom for xmas but it hasnt come yet.(Ohh well.) I wonder if it will hurt the car at all. Appreciate your opinions. Chris I only spent $7.50 on it, so i figured why not. Sorry i must have forgotten to put the link in. Here it is. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...TRK%3AMEWN%3AIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviej Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 no link in your thread. doesn't matter. If it is the Tornado or a chip flash......I would have spent the money by taking my mother to a nice lunch. steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris17house Posted December 26, 2004 Author Share Posted December 26, 2004 So is it worth installing when I get it to try it out, or is there a risk of hurting the car (at all) if i do try it out? Thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartkat Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 The resistor just goes in the circuit from the IAT sensor. I don't think it's going to do any real damage. Might notice a difference more in the summer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khhoang Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 you get what you paid for.. an eBay seller with a private feedback listing obviously has something to hide about himself and his items. get a hundred people to buy this $7 item shipped and thats a pretty nice drop of change in his pocket for somthing others agree as "garbage." my 2c.
