waste of money, you wont really get that kind of horsepower for anything that cheap. Shouldnt hurt your car, from what i remember it just a resistor that plugs into you intake air temperature sensor and makes your car think its sucking in cold air. Prolly wont do you any good.

Yea.....I actually made the mistake of buying one about a year ago and it threw a code, I cant member exactly what code it was not but it had to do with the Intake sensor I took it out after about an hour of having it in and honestly there was no noiticable gain...so they really are crap!
