Need a little help guys.

So my girlfriend was on ebay getting some stuff for herself and she saw this Top-Velocity Systems Performance Module and she got it for me. So I get it today and thought what the hell I give it a shot and see what happens. Basically its a wire about 3in long and in the middle of it theres a rubber sleve over it. Its supposed to go in Idle Air Temp sensor.....where the heck is that at? I looked and I cant find it. It says its a two wire connection near the intake and the only one I found is the four wire connection on top of my SRI. So can anyone help me find where this thing goes?

Here is what you do: Don't Install. Then tell your girlfriend you installed it and watch her talk about how she can tell the difference. You dont wanna mess up you Air/Fuel Ratio with ebay products.

Convinced, not going to install it. Thats kinda what I was leaning towards. Just telling her its in. She didnt even notice anything was different when I installed my SRI. It took her over a week before she said it sounded different


What kind of kind of risk would I be running into if it were installed? Also, its claims 30hp gain! Is that even possible?

It's just a resistor, it dims the signal from the IAT to trick the ecu.
