One kind of magnet worth having is the one that goes on the engine oil filter. It helps to trap all the fine ferrous particles a little better.

The Ecotek is a noise machine only.

Is that picture a fuel saver or a power boost valve? It looks like a power boost valve to me. I maybe wrong though

They're supposedly one and the same.

These are remarkable little devices because the can be used on absolutely any NA petrol car and turn it into a noisy, spluttering misfiring heap of junk whilst simultaneously giving the closed loop emissions control system a headache trying to calculate fuel/air ratios correctly.

Well I'm glad I asked about that one, I thought it was a bit too good to be true.

The picture is from a google images search I did for "Ecotek CB-26P Fuel Saver" loads of them came up, so I presume it was.

The power boost valves are a metallic bell shape and a lot bigger.

Please refer to my statement regarding the stability enhancing effect of strategically hung fluffy dice.

does it depend on what colour you get to how the handling is improved?
