Ohh I love those ebay ads "here's a dyno plot a customer sent me" with no explanation as to what's what or even if one of the fan things was installed :lol:

 

The thing that gets me is how he can't have a horrific negative feedback for "item is a sack of crap"... but then again, he's only claiming that you get 1-7hp gains and 2-4mpg difference. You can get that kind of difference by having different weather :lol: :(

Exactly! :lol:

 

I mean why bother spending bags of cash on getting your rado supercharged or Turbo'd. When you can simply spend £15 and get this! YEEEY!

 

Im tempted to ask if this would replace the hairdryer i put under the bonnet.

I love how the 'Science behind this lump of crap' section completely fails to actually explain anything about what it supposedly does that improves performance and improves fuel economy. Ridiculous!!

Infact, youre probably better off putting a cpu cooling fan in your airbox, it would make more of a difference. What were the people thinking that bought this!?

I love the "previous customer" quote:

 

Amazing item! My 3 litre car now runs just like american muscle car 7 litre V8!!!!

 

... so it does 4mpg and produces just under 100bhp then...? :scratch: :lol:
