Post by purplemx3gs »

I thought it was interesting at first, but once I saw the price, I figured it was something cheap that would probably start a fire due to faulty wiring.

I'd still try it though. :D

Next time you wonder about something like this, do a search. This has been gone over pretty well, along with many other similar gadgets. One thing that hesn't been said about this gadget; I think it would work for a very low RPM engine, for slightly better MPG, if you had a very deep cycle RV battery that you charged at home, or better yet, with solar.


Maybe.

i actually used of of them on my old 200sx and when i idled it would kill the engine. but it seemed to give the a bit more pull in the higher rpms on the highway.
yes, i was a sucker for it...kind of ashamed. but someone had to try it! :D
