dule Donating Members 1,180 Member For: 17y 7m 10d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 11/06/10 01:12 PM Share Posted 11/06/10 01:12 PM Done a bit of quick research regarding price, they are not that expensive when used on diesels, used quiet extensively these days. But petrol is a little different as it runs a lot hotter and in order for all this variable stuff to survive it needs to be made from some pretty expensive materials so I don't think we'll start seeing this stuff on regular cars any time soon. Bloody shame...Hope someone develops a reasonably priced durable unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More power, less lag and less emissions apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
