Ecotek Valve Results

[JapBlack]

Ok a while back i said i would be a guinea pig for testing one of the ecotek filters that we all !Removed! about when it gets posted. Ok performance wise i havent noticed anything but throttle response feels better and car generally feels smoother.

Ok for petrol consumption we have a winner. I brimmed a tank ful and ran it dry. I drive a bit like a lunitic and i got 312.3 miles. So i fitted the valve + the pipercross filter cause the noise is a !Removed! without it. I then ran it dry to find that i got 356 miles, probably driving more like a lunatic.

So i can safely say fuel wise we have a winner and performance is negligable.

so whats this thread about then?

[cmarshall]

how an ecotec valve works 4 a bit, making you think you have solved the whole MPG thing then it stops working leaving you to think what a F****** waste of money :D

[earpl]

ah you mean those crap things that weve had loads of threads about?

oh hows the zorst by the way?
