ECU "piggy back" device

Quote:-

This simple, yet effective unit will allow you to boost the power output of your Mini mini cars engine, without sacrificing reliability or comfort. It consists of a small electronic device that is inserted between your Mini mini cars air sensor and the ECU. This is also know as a 'piggy back' device as it is external to the main processing unit (the ECU).

They're asking £5 for it

Too good to be true? Has anyone got one or heard about these?

Yes too good to be true - its basically a resistor, you see millions of them on ebay, some of them even cheaper than a fiver
