   get rid of as fast as you can..
   
   In technical terms it would be described as "utter toss"

   i have one mate and to tell you the truth they do shit all
   
   so whack it on ebay to make a bit of money
   
   if they did work i think manufacturers would be fitting them as standard to the cars to sell the car better and keep the enviroment people off there backs

   So they actually make things worse as opposed to not doing anything at all? LOL! What a great piece of equipment.

   some people have expierienced problems with the brakes when its fitted too, i actually thought it was doing some good when i fitted it 4 year ago, then realised the fuel stops were about the same if not more

   It would be interesting to see one on the RR with a standard car.

    in simple terms all it introduces is an air leak. On an old car it would lean the mixture so you would save fuel, though at the risk of leaning too much and doing damage.
    On modern cars sensors detect the air/fuel mix and adjust accordingly. So your car will compensate and at best run just as before but with a farting noise from under the bonnet. Sell it to someone on ebay because thats the only way you will be better off..
