Hello, I need to know what the inner diameter of the air intake is as I am looking at putting one of these little fuel saver devices in.
See if it'll save me a bit of fuel money, I know of a few people who are trying them on all sorts of vehicles and I'm hearing good stuff:)
1. 55-64mm
2. 65-75mm
Cheers,
Ian.

If you're talking about one of those things that stir the air up, you've already got one - a turbo :lol:
Independent reports on these fuel saving devices have always found that they don't work. People tend to get an early improvement, because they subconsciously drive for economy. Once they get back to their normal habits, the benefits tend to disappear :(

Hi Wakeybongo,

Worth a try,the only problem I can think of,will the device you are thinking of using affect the AFS?

Best of luck...Cheers.
