Default Resistor on s60 t5

hey,
just wondering if it would be worth the effort to install a resistor on my s60 t5 to try to increase hp alittle and better the gas milage. anybody know if it will actually make a noticable difference?

NO it will do nothing more than ruin your gas mileage most likely.. or at least everyone i know that has tried one it pretty much screwed up their gas mileage.. didnt gain any noticable power and in some cases the check engine light came on... bad idea..

thanks for the reply. i've talked to people that said horrible things about them and then others that said they have seen great improvments. i didnt think something so cheap would actually do anything.

All those Resistors Do is trick you car to think its running cold, SO the ECU dumps more Fuel into the motor = HP, Doubt any improvement in MPG tho.
