Its cheap, so buy one, test it for few months in different driving condition and then let us know.

In this way we can know for sure whether this type of device will work on a FTO or not.

If only it was that easy, people wouldn't be spending thousands of $$$ what you can get for $250..
I'm sure it'll do something, like destroy something in your engine over time..

You will get a bigger performance increase by sticking on a Ralliart decal........

Up to 20hp guaranteed. That basically means they guarantee you will make at least 1hp but no more than 20. LOL. Basically paying $200 plus for the filter cause thats the only part worth a damn.

Just a comment in regards to "performance" mods, you'll always see these so called "performance boosting" mods all the time.

The reality of it though, is that if it really was this simple to get all that extra power, it would completely defeat the purpose of "modifying".

Why spend $1500 for an ECU when you can double the performance for almost 8 times cheaper? It just doesn't happen.. and I feel sorry for people who actually buy this junk.

omg :S don't tell me your ebay id is "domodel" I was just bidding on those auctions, won the front lower strut, but my higher bid didn't go through for the Rear Strut, so i missed out :( Oh well, no doubt there will be others ...

They're so cheap cause they're just generic no name brand stuff, still do the same job as anything else though, just for a fraction of the price ... I bought a Front strut bar the other day & its working fine :) just need one for the rear now & I'm set :D

hehe guinea pig! :P funny as ...

Turns out the winning bidder of the Rear Strut didn't end up paying, so I got the Second Chance offer for $55 including postage :) So I'll let you know how both of them go for me once I've got them both installed :)
