Ecotek CB-26Ps

ok... so this thing is supposed to do half of what audis new fsi does...
but not even.
the fsi uses valves IN the intake manifold to make are tumble... but
then has specially designed pistons so it circulates in the combustion
chamber.
the fuel is set up to be released right in the center of the "swirling" air,
which causes reduced heat.
this only works at low rpms... ie. under 2000.
this thing claims to improve gas consumption almost as much...
thats a bit extreme.
how is it many of the best engineers in the world are stumped by a little
small company
on their OWN engines?

to be honest i think its the placebo affect...
i can see it making difference on a select group of engine types...
but it everyone seems to think it works on EVERY engine...
it cant work on any forced induction engine IMHO.
i dunno...
doesnt add up to me.
why can i find no major web reviews?
all the reviews i found are little .co.uk sites...
get car and driver or european car or even audi driver to review it and then
maybe maybe ill believe its claims
