So, last Saturday I ordered myself an Ecotek CB-26P valve. Having read various reviews on the Ecotek site and other independent sites, I thought it might be worth spending the dosh if it saves me a few quid on petrol every month.

I bought the bundle pack which includes:
It arrived Thursday and I fitted the valve only. Having viewed the tuning video on their site and fully read the instructions, I was a little miffed that mine sounded different to theirs. I've tuned it a couple of times and feel that I have it now exactly how it should be although I do get a bit of a high pitch trumpet prior to the induction noise on overrun and a bit of a rattle which sounds like an old Fiesta exhaust
According to Ecotek, the trumpeting is normal when the valve seat is bedding in so I'll give it a couple of hundred miles and report back on that. I don't have the PiperX filter fitted. No real noticeable difference to performance and fuel economy.
Today, I used the PowerBoost and the Ecotek100. Now this has definitely made a difference. The throttle response has improved no end and performance at the low rev end of the scale is superb. I would thoroughly recommend this to everyone, new or old car.
I'd be interested if anyone else has used these products and what their experience has been.
