ecotek valve

is it worth fitting one of these things to my valver??  My mates raving about them but im not convinced just seen them for 30 quid thats all

there was a thread about this before and the general concensus is don't bother. i had one and to be honset i saw very little difference. i have a few engine mods so that may be the problem as i gave my old ecotek to a mate with an older standard, k-jet and he thinks it give him better fuel economy. have a browse back i think it was in the ''chat-vw related'' section.

Through previous threads on here I think the outcome was that the ecotek valve was only worth anything when used on a carburretor as opposed to fuel injected. I think you'll find that most people will tell you it's a waste of time and money, especially on a valver. ?

What car has your mate got it on anyway ? ?

yeah sorry i think you notice it more on a carb than a gti

Sorry joe, didn't mean to sound as though I was condecending or anything as we both replied to the initial post at the same time ! Well you actually just beat me and I couldn't be bothered editing my post

no worries, i didn't think you meant it like that anyway

i fitted an ecotek to my 1.3 carb, it made a massive difference but a mate bought one off ebay for his gti and it didn't benefit him so u prolly shouldn't bother.
