Default air intake sensor mod?

i found this on eBay. does anyone have this installed?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2444214846

this mod is suppose "'trick' your engine into thinking that it is taking in cool air all the time. "

what do you guys think?

Don't do it man! It is nothing but a resistor you can buy at radio shack for .99 cents. Doesn't work.

i've said it b 4 and i'll say it again..."that thing is a scamizzle fo shizzle my nizzle they jus want yo dough-izzle"....it tricks your computer into making the engine run lean, which works for a second, but then the computer realizes its running lean and compensates for that by adding more fuel, putting you right back where you started!

Can we just put up a sign on the site somewhere that says, power mods for 20HP do not cost 10.00
