   save your money..
   
   On a basic level they let unmetered are into the inlet which is a bad thing
   
   At best the lambda will pick up the difference in optimal mixture and adjust accordingly .. worst case it could make your engine run lean which is bad

   i agree with above comments, wouldn't touch one tbh.
   
   my mate wanted one, i told him not to , but he did and he reckons the car was worse with it on.
   
   have also read reviews where people have lost bhp, as much as 2-3bhp, which is alot considering a bmc may give you 5-6bhp.

   I’m sure I’ve read somewhere on the net that one company included them in their tuning packages… if I remember where I’ll say…

    ~ anyways, why do these make a squeal sort of noise on a car that has one,
