Your ecu will add more fuel to combat the unmetered airleak so any fuel saving is in your head.

Proven countless times on rolling roads to give no gains.

Or think of it this way, they have been around longer then some people on this forum. If they actually worked car manufactures would have picked up on them and fitted them as standard.

I had one on my old blue gti when I got it the car ran like a sack of shit was generally wank and fucked a spark plug. Took it off rang a million times better, you would see more gains if you put a flexi pipe directly on the inlet and with the other end turn it sideways and shove it up your roody poo candy ass with the extra "emissons" sure to make more of an impact

ive got one of these on my car ( was on when i got it btw lol ) and ive just found out what the hell it is by reading this thread, i found this thread by searching to see if my brake servo was nakerd.
would this little shitty valve effect my brakes then? its attached to the pipe going from my servo to the inlet btw

I get so angry about people, especially noobies, getting duff advice from scammers!!!

I've been tuning cars for 15 years now, and all these little valves and resistors and what-not must have made someone a fortune.

I just wonder how they sleep at night.
