Exclamation

Bag of sh*te mate.
Don't believe the so-called testimonials listed on the website.
Does nothing much other than make a weird noise under the bonnet.
You may get the odd 2mpg extra but that's as far as it goes.
Avoid !

Not to be confused with EcuTek - which is very good.

Indeed.
ECUTek is a remap of the cars ECU, which can vastly improve the cars characteristics over the stock ECU.
Speak to John Banks listed here on Sccobynet for advice on your car.

Cool

TEK improve fuel economy? - yes it does!

Just back from a regular motorway run from Manchester to Glouscestershire and back and got about 30 miles more from the tank, that's more than 10% on that run. This was my first like-for-like comparison since getting TEK3'd last week. I know John was saying how he leans out some areas of the map. A nice bonus given the performance increase. of course - the capacity to drink fuel increases too!

The EcoTek (not the EcuTek) is pants - did squat diddly for me - you could buy mine if you really want!

I think you're confusing it with an EcuTek which is the ECU from John Banks. The EcoTek is that thingy that supposedly saves fuel. If this is waht what you're after then mail me as per profile.
