it`s a fuel economy item,,, with it (& if it`s working correctly) you will use less fuel

I don't know anybody who has made it work on a sidedraft Weber or Dellorto. There is too much pressure shock in the port.

I've not used it for 15 years (45 Dellorto) and my economy ain't bad without now it's jetted properly.

Cooper S never had it fitted anyway, nor did a long list of performance cars.
