What do you think?

I got one, it felt like i'd had a turbo fitted.

That's why i'm asking

I run five of these on mine *






* Do I f*ck !!!

Seriously they are a waste of time & money.

Just a resistor in a box mate

Well work it out mate . £6.50 for 8 - 17 extra bhp . Tuning companies with years of experience charge around £300 for a remap for less bhp .

Who's actually bullshitting and who actually knows what they are doing ??

I'd say the tuning companies

I believe they are LAD approved so they must be good, come with a jam jar of metal too!

PMSL - GGR won't be selling then ?

Like the Eco-Tek, if it works why aren't all the worlds car makers fitting them as standard.

 

[brisa4984]

"because not everyone wants to go fast"

i got 1. . .and smoked a v6 mwahahahahaaa . . . *cough*​

As everyones being assholes as usual i will explain

Its a small resistor which effetively tells the ECU that the incoming air is cold therefore it will inject slightly more fuel into the mixture which supposedly gives you more 'power' In reality its completely unnessasary and will increase emissions and make the engine run lumpy at low revs

So in basic i dont know if you have driven a car with a manual choke but its like leaving it on all the time.

It may have a small benefit at 5000-7000RPM as i have heard that the 2.0 F4Rs run slightly lean at this rev range. Although you would need to confirm that with one of the more experienced engineers

dont do it. will only make u use more petrol and probably not good for the car as it's tricking it in thinking the incoming air is cold.

Complete horse s**t

 

[mattjk]

Iv never used one so i couldnt say there 'horse s**t' however the theory behind them doesnt make sense

 

[Ja5on]

waste of money

Ghey..
