Power Module Installation Guide wrote: step 1 - disconnect battery to avoid electrical injuries
step 2 - locate the inlet air temp (IAT) sensor on your engine, if you do not have an IAT then locate the engine coolant temp sensor
step 3 - remove the connector from the sensor
step 4 - take the power module [resistor] and insert the legs into the connector (loom end) ensuring that each leg is in contact with the metal in the slot - it doesnt matter what way the legs are fitted.
Step 5 - when the mod is correctly fitted, secure it back in place using electrical tape - also wrap the connector up to protect from the elements - it is not plugged back into the sensor.
Step 6 - reconnect battery
Step 7 - start car and take for spin - you WILL be able to feel the difference!!! - Over 10000 people have!

If you hammer the legs of the resister in to your tadger you get an extra 20 bhp out o that as well.

:roll: It clearly states on the instructions that 150bhp is the most you can get out of a flat. 1 bed bungalows get best increase in performance due to smaller construction. It also improves handling...

That is complete nonsense. :roll:

As an architect I have seen well over 300 bhp from a standard flat with some careful plumbing work and a larini fitted under the sink. Bungalows tend to oversteer way too much for serious consideration, but I have contacted the vendor of these chips just to clarify. :wink:
