Have you not noticed you get people like that posting up here, asking the exact same thing about different, cheap, nasty and completely useless products ?

If its not some uselss chip, its ecotek valves or whatever, but the basic sentence/question is exactly the same................

its all a conspiracy to buy rubbish!! :oooh:

ah. i think ME:MTC has bought an ecotek valve and is desperately trying to justify it.

so you really need a little wooshy noise? why do you need to put a tiny little filter onto a vac hose? its like the wonder magnets that go round your fuel lines and straighten the molecules :rolleyes: or the "race mode " button.

its a totally unnecessary p.o.s . ok it may (though highly unlikely) increase economy by maybe 1mpg but you can save that by driving a bit conservatively. its not like you can fit that then drive like a twonk and itll return 40+mpg as its just not gonna happen. no amount of agitated air is gonna make it be more economical.

for anyone thinking of buying one. dont. save your 50 notes and buy something more useful. like an elbow sizer or something.
