   cant remember where my mums is fitted but their shite just had to re-tune it for the third time in 2 weeks after the squealing noise it makes when you let off the accelerator started to piss us the fook off.

   Generally people fit them to the brake servo. Heard a lot of mixed opinions about the ecotek filters. I've got one myself and i'm happy with it, once its been fitted for a while the sound it gives off on over-run is pretty silent. Follow the instructions closely when tuning the filter or you will end up getting worse mpg.

   Brakes will only mess up if the device isn't correctly fitted onto the brake servo.
