hi there

total rubbish! >:( can only work for a few hours, if not minutes! all it does is fool the car into thinking the outside air temp is lower, so it puts in a bit more fuel, hence a very slight increase of power. the car's pmc can adapt, so will just change the fueling/timing using the input from the lambda sensor.
back to square one! :D

But the RS200 was not produced until 1988.? And the text say it dont work on cars older than 1988...?

But isent there something in the theory of fooling the ECU... but this cracp wount do it, right.?

And is this company a serious place.? (newer heard of it in norway...)

I just love the rs200, Cosworth did a NICE job on it, supercharged it .......A LOT.....and got 450 horse power form a 1.8 liter engine, there was also a 2.1 liter engine that had 550 (or 650 can't remeber exactly). The bad thing was that the engine had a life expectency of about 10 hours ..... :P

ON Topic

I don't really think that :

* Only 2 wires to connect - Simple DIY fitment within 20 minutes.
* Fully adjuastable
Included :
* Fully assembled billet aluminium controller unit with electronics.
* 3 Metres of wire.
* Dashboard / Console fixative.
* Cable ties.
* Detailed instructions.

could really boost power, enhance speed....and soo on...

maybe if you add some duct tape, no just make it A LOT OF duct tape and some paper clips....you'll manage to do someting......a cup holder or something like that....... }{

AND there's no need to pay for the blasted thing, it's just a potentiometer, if you really want add one, just measure the values of the air temperature sensor, and then make some computations (resistors in parallel), add the knob and it's all done.
