If the 944 group doesn't bite, they'll move to the Asian car groups....if they haven't already. The sad part is these folks are probably going to retire early.

My guess its an adjustable resistor that you wire in to the Engine temp sender for the ECU.

So you fool the car to thinking its colder.

In most cars.....increases fuel and slight increase in timing for colder weather operation.

It should make your car run like ****.

The problem wasn't the invention, it was the marketing. You can't market a device like that here where you have a lot of intelligent people. You should have put it on ebay and make one to work with the Asian cars....you would probably be surfing the GT3 boards now!

She probably already bought on and installed it in her car!

Also looks like they make them for just about every "petrol" car from '89 on. Thats when you know its cheap.
