   its snake oil and is rubbish. Also it makes a great farty noise so everyone will laugh at you more....
   I can't be bothered to go into detail about how this special turbulant flow does not work. Journalists usually have no idea about technical products especially on fashion magazines like Revs and MP.

   ecotek valves have been proven time and time again to give NO power gains on a roiling road. They also have been known to promote knocking in some setup. All in all absolutely avoid.
