I'll sell you a 2p diode and tell you where to put it if you like?

Don't ever fit any crap like that. #-o Basically makes your car run on choke, in return you get....

Excessive fuel consumption,
Bore wash,
poor running,
shocking emisions and cat damage.
A loss of power instead of gain.

Even the bloke does not know how much it is supposed to gain...

+25bhp at start of advert, the +35bhp at the end.

35bhp for £12.99! If only it was that easy! Might solder 2 together! 70bhp! :mrgreen:

:lol: :lol: :lol: Check out the dyno print out too! The car makes 150bhp on idle and at 7000rpm with his mod box fitted. :clap: :clap:

Buy this one instead..

He describes basically an EGR valve. But this must get exhaust gas by magic and put it into the cylinders through the breather vent pipe. And you get 40bhp from this.

Surely things like this should be banned from ebay by now? Can't understand how he's not been in court for this crap.

the answers to questions asked about the box are great too! i bought an old mondeo workhorse a few years ago that had already got one of these things fitted, i think i got roughly the bhp gains he talks about in his advert.... when i ripped it out of the engine bay!
how these things are still allowed to be sold! dont even get me started on the turbo intake jobbies he sells, my next door neighbour has bought one for his v6 vectra, with a dump valve!!!! makes me chuckle as he 'knows about his cars'

It also says increases fuel economy but how if it's telling the ecu to bump extra fuel in. Haha
