got mine on ebay £21, make an anoying noise so get the filter with it, not sure about the difference it makes though (fitted a lightened flywheel at the same time) one thing i will say is when i removed the sparks they were brown on one side??? can any one explain that? i think its running too lean, exhaust valve burning out (heard rumours)? recommed with fse power boost valve and modified bits like exhausts etc well so they say

it connects to the servo hose at above at high rmp vaccume, opens a valve drawing more air into the manifold.......designed for vaux ecotech engines by fse......never tried one tho lol

coicidence, theres no way that thing in the vacuum hose will improve anything, especially flat spots, are you sure its not in your head?
