I put an 8” tube with an inlet and outlet between the brake booster and intake manifold. I notice no difference in power at all, but I haven’t gotten into the higher rpm range. If it gives me more power up there, it doesn’t seem worth it to me because I want the fuel mileage aspect of it and I don’t rev the engine that high. I was hoping for the low end torque that you experienced but I just didn’t get it.

I’m leaving the tube on for now to see how it affects my fuel mileage for this tank, but I’m also testing my grill block off at the same time, so it’s not a fair test. Maybe I should remove the tube, refuel, reset the trip meter (again, no fuel mileage instrumentation), and just drive several days or around 150 miles and see what the results are when I refuel and do the math.

Gotta install my MPGuino! But don’t have a good mount for it. The mount it came with doesn’t work well.
