petervr6 0 Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 when do things like that ever work ?? Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 According to max power, they give 50BHP, install 2 and it's like fitting a turbo! seriously though, dont waste your money, you might as well spend what you save on petrol and enjoy the drive! Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Also if I see a product with the words "warning - this product is excellent" stay clear Link to post Share on other sites
Bunter6 1 Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 As with most of these Holy Grail "free power but with better economy too" things if they were such a simple idea that really worked then car makers would already be putting them in their cars from the factory. Manufacturers like nothing more than to boast how the latest innovation from their engineers has given you more power but also more economical. I'm pretty sure the ecotek valve probably does one or the other to a minor degre but not so as you'd notice & its probably doing it by fooling a sensor to tell the ecu that something is not what its actually is thus it's not exactly a scientific process & is more of a dodgy hack.Just my tuppence worth Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I seem to remeber spotting a post somewhere back around xmas on t'internet, where someone had taken one apart, all that was inside was a basic valve that looked like a ball bearing with a hole drilled through it, so it just puts a pulse into the vacuum instead of a uniform pressure,so well worth the money ;-D Link to post Share on other sites
