Imagine breathing through a piece of paper, it's quite hard to suck through, the air charger will push the air through the paper letting you breathe easier. Some are fan some are just fins. Some got carbon charge and many different types. -VS do with grounding for best effect. But most VS are fakes these days, banking on the real stuff that works. Many ppl buy cheaper fakes (or expensive fakes) and later say that they are a waste of money that's because they got the lousy stuff posed as good ones. So far the best one I used is Power+ P.O.D (power on demand). My mechanic show me the difference after he disconnect it from the battery, it still shows 13V for over 10 mins. Other VS just drop to 2V after 1 minute. I did a test after that and it still shows 8V after a week! Anyway, the p.o.d don't call their product VS, they call it a battery supplement. Cold cranking in the morning never took more than 1 second after I installed it. (i'm currently driving a diesel vehicle btw) Will install it to my car after i get it (end aug / early sept)

Woooo i tink i get a clearer picture now thx all bros for enlightening Besides all the enlightenment around, must also consider ur budget and wat u want in ur car? Can look at Pmax + grounding cables : can \go see threads. Or even adding a Alutec front strut bar and also VSD IV - voltage stabilzer. Plus lightweight crank pulley for the start. Light on pocket, performance immediately feel. All these are small mods and not the major kind of mods, which might be costly. Cheers!

Yup !! Guys if you set a date for installing the QF do post here... i may pop by if have nothing on ... cause staying not so far from there. Yup stock set-up go for the QF... and maybe just maybe change your air filter to those after market type... i just changed mine and can say the performance is definately better with both. Other than that ... you will start enjoying your driving time ...

Bro, do up ur intake, header and exhaust.. Confirm got gains.. And if u want something more fierce sounding, upgrade to Hurricane Open Pod.. Any improvement gains if I dun wanna touch my exhaust headers but change to a larger diameter exhaust piping to 2' inch instead of original 1.6" inch after the header onwards with an operated muffler? It will be complemented by a open pod C.A.I. as well...Any comments? for any advise and will take each and every seriously based on yr personal experiences!
