Seems like a good item to try out.

Heard some great reports on it, and with all the new toys in the car, thought I'd invest in something to keep the power clean.

"A blue LED helps you identify any possible wiring mistakes."

Derek, you must order one. :evil:

 

Sorry.

What you have is four smallish capacitors in a little blue box connected across the battery terminals. The battery is itself a huge capacitor already. The only function it could serve would be to filter (reduce) higher frequency noise.

The only thing you could notice would be a reduction in hum or whine in the radio. I have never heard any such whine or hum myself, and if I did, I would be back to the dealer to get it fixed.

The claims for improved torque and "response" due to a slightly filtered voltage supply to the ECU are simply "rubbish".

If they used standard red and black supply wires instead of two blue leads there would be no need af an LED wire "error" detector. The four electrolytic capacitors are worth about $4 retail.

 

Yes, have to admit I agree with you guys, as it was not so much cash, thought I'd give it a try....

 

I looks like the thing the guy is trying to sell on Ebay to rip people off. On Ebay he claims something like a 15% increase in HP. The cheapest and easiest way to get more horsepower, IMO, is chip tunning, air filters and a free flow muffler.

 

But guys... ITS BLUE!!!

lol! Yah I dont know about this one

if someone buys it though... and lets us know what the increase really is... that would be REALLY nice...

but who's got that kinda money to blow on something that might just be pretty...

I swear you better not point a finger at me... lol :lol:

 

BUT IT'S BLUE Derek...you just MUST get one! :wink: :roll: :wink:

 

its strange... cuz thats a pretty famous company...

I've heard of grounding on cars holding stereos back from not being that clear... that makes sense.. but the HP and Torque ... that outta my league...

Could it be possible that this kit might add 2 - 3 hp? or any of the benefits that it says it offers?
