Hey guys, been looking at one that fits on map sensor, claims increase in torque, power and better fuel economy, anyone have experience with these, if it 7s correct then $139 would be well spent

Cheers

Yeah... That should work excellent!
Fit a Hiclone whilst you're at it!

And yes I'm being VERY sarcastic!

You sure? Not sure about the V8, but the TD5 has one on the inlet manifold plenum chamber:

My mistake.

Hey, my D2 came with a hiclone when I got it. It did a great job of collecting oily water when the head gasket blew.
