Hi Simon,

Can share what this does, how it works, and how much it costs?

And what noise were you referring to?

:icon3:added 3pcs of air chargers and 1pc of energizer. make whole world of different in low end torque. how it work has to consult the e-power guy. he recommended this website: www.pristinenergy.com. i paid $700 for them. think worth it at that price for low end power. my cruising at traffic easier.

i like the loud engine noise every time i accelerate. now the noise tone down a lot when accelerating making the car no so stand out.:icon28:

hmmm... I've heard that fuel primers and air chargers don't last as long as they claim. As I remember, they claim that they last many years (around 8?), but after a year or so, the air chargers lose their effect, and the fuel primers actually restrict the flow of fuel.

Hope you don't think that I'm condemning the product. Just sharing what I've read and it'd be great if someone could share their experiences after using these products for some time.

:icon3:thank you very much for the advice. it gives me peace of mind to find out more.

i'd checked with the e-power guy about the air charger, he mentioned that depending on where you install the charger. one of the vacuum line is oily. if install on that line, you need to remove the filter otherwise it will jam inside. they are quite supportive. suggest that you give them a call to rectify this problem. probably the person installing it during that time was not aware of it. if you have problem, probably they will not charge you for the service. give a try.:icon28:
