i beleive this is the resistor mod - i did it on my supra. what happens is that you put a 10k resistor into one of the sensor and tricks to computer by making it think the engine is cooler than what it's really is...therefore, ur car will actually produce anywhere from 15-20 hp...it should only cost you about $1 from radio shack

so you are saying that this transistor mod that cost $1 ACTUALLY works? Did you dyno your car before and after and you actually felt the gain? I am just curious thats all, .not that i don't believe you...Just thinking that if it really works, all of us should be on our way to Radio Shack...
