acf8181 0 Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 its no good, mate put one on his car and all it did was make an annoying noise. Link to post Share on other sites
DundeeDub 0 Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 i got two on mine and not really noticed a difference really. there is meant to be a difference but unsure as of now. The annoying thing is that you need to keep re tuning them, had mine for approx 5 months now, according to the info should be fine and bedded in but still make a noise and need tuning every so often.

antera309 3 Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 I fitted one to my previous car, a BMW 325i. Didn't make any difference to performance and needed adjusting every week.There was a very slight improvement to fuel economy, but not enough to compensate for the cost of the unit.

Corr28VR6 0 Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Yep - I had fitted two to my raddo - waste of money - didn't notice any of the claimed benefits and have now binned them! Link to post Share on other sites
Blake 0 Posted March 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Well, I wonder where they get their figures from - that it works I mean. Interesting.The other day, I was driving the vr6 on the motorway going around 100km's and when I wanted to overtake the car picked up so quickly, better than when in lower gear ratios. I was pretty stunned. Why is this? Is the vr suited more to open roads? Link to post Share on other sites

patrick green 0 Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 I don't know how it would perform on my VR but I had one on my old Pug & although their were almost no performance benefits, it did decrease my fuel consumption. At motorway speeds I was getting about 5 MPG more. I might put it on my VR & see what happens. Link to post Share on other sites
