They do work, but as said, they dont do all that much, dont expect miracles. | |

they are easy to fit but, it doesnt go on your fuel line, it goes on your brake servo pump line into the block, although i have heard somewhere that the servo pipe is unsuitible on a single point injection car, if your unsure i would give the guy of ecotek a call he is called tim and he will sort you out. | |

i have one in my 1litre had it for 6 months, it does make a difference to the power, makes acceleration smoother etc, there is a guy called tim on there forums who will answer any question you have about it, he will even ring you if you want him too! | |

i had 1 fitted about a month ago and i noticed straight away that it sorted out my flat spot problems through the gears, before i could get 80 mph up a certian hill, after i got 5mph more. i know it dont sound like much and the hype on the net makes them out to be the dogs bolloxs, but 4 £45 u cant expect it to be like a turbo and make ur car go from 0-60 as fast as a scooby, but im definatly glad i put 1 on. i also like the wet fart sound it makes. (gives the car more character).:thumbs: | |

and decrease performance due to lower fuel pressure, the pre-ecotec engine were more powerful. | |

all they do is bleed air into the fuel and weaken the fuel pressure hence why u get a few more mpg and sound like a wet fart. a power boost valve is a better bet. | |

i tried one of these out and did seem to get a few extra miles out of a gallon if driving sensibly. If you want your car to sound deeper try a K&N air filter induction thingy :) | |

does anyone know if these will fit a 1.4L 8v spi? And are they worth getting because i could do with saving fuel, if anyone has one fitted could u tell me what its like, and does it make ur engine sound deeper?:thumbs: |
