1 matching discussions were examined; no attributable action/outcome evidence was detected. No consensus or repair conclusion is claimed.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

1 matching discussions · 12 captured posts examined · 0 partial discussions
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
12 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.
0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.
0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Anyone have any experience of these? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TWIST-AIR-INTAKE-GAS-FUEL-SAVER-PORSCHE-924-944-968-996_W0QQitemZ160072676839QQihZ006QQcategoryZ36680QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Web link I notice deisgn911 sell them too. Will they really make any significant difference? cheers Tim Migration info. Legacy thread was 108561
"Will they really make any significant difference?" If they did - Porsche would design-in a professionaly engineered version. Migration info. Legacy thread was 108564
and charge £8000 as an optional extra... Migration info. Legacy thread was 108571
A complete con - a bit like the fabled eBay 'resistor' that will just ***** your engine. Migration info. Legacy thread was 108573
A word of caution: Highly developed engines such as ours are very accurately tuned to give exactly the right amount of turbulence in the intake air at different engine loads / speeds... Increasing turbulence at low speeds may give you slightly increased performance, but will screw up the airflow at the other end of the rev range, and ultimately could result in lean burn problems - such as holes in your pistons!!!! Car manufacturers spend millions on engine development - specifically on things like optimising gas flows into cylinders and finite element analysis of swirl patterns in the combustion chamber: Hence, technologies like 4-valve, DOHC, variable valve timing, varioram, port injection, multi-point injection, tuned inlet manifolds, electronic engine management, e-gas, EGR, etc. etc... If it really was a simple as putting a bent bit of steel in the air intake every manufacturer in the World could lay off about 50 engineers, get rid of dozens of suppliers, and slash manufacturing costs overnight. Have to admit the use of lots of technical sounding words is very convincing though - vortex's, resonance, and all that - bet loads of people are fooled... Then when you ask for your money back as it hasn't improved anything, they will just quote the results of their own 'research' and ask you to prove what your power output and fuel consumption was before and after you fitted it!!! :wink: Hmmmm.... now there's an idea... Buy one of my new high polar gain radio tuning aerials... These have been shown to increase frequency attenuation by up to 5%, and amplitude modulation of all FM wavebands is improved by up to 10% - reducing electromagnetic interference hiss by 5% and increasing amplification volume by a massive 15%... These have been fitted to in excess of 50,000 cars worldwide and are now available from Acme wireless technology for the stunning price of just £17.95 plus p+p... They are easy to fit and require no mechanical or electronics expertise, or special tools.

how much? sign me up they look great. are they compatible with 996's? etc etc etc repeat to fade I WANT ONE NOW IT HAS TO MAKE MY LIFE BETTER... and so on Migration info. Legacy thread was 108662

Wattie You did say you trained car salesmen didn't you? Migration info. Legacy thread was 108871
And how many car salesmen have you met that have any clue what they are selling?? Try asking Dan about the technical aspects of a Clio Migration info. Legacy thread was 108872
About as much use as a sports exhaust :twisted: Migration info. Legacy thread was 108883
Damn, did I admit that... Don't blame me... I've never done any Porsche training - honest! :wink: Did some mystery shopping for them once though - and guess how I ended up driving one! Migration info. Legacy thread was 109002
