Flat spots gone
Better throttle responce
Improved MPG

Its just a little breather valve, awsome bit of kit for the £50 price tag

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
