Ive done a search on these, and it seems that these have quite a bad reputation, but some good feedback too.

I think my 1.2 8v runs rich, as when I changed the plugs, they were very black, loads of carbon deposits. Would an ecotek valve make this worse?

I got one for free at the dump today, would it be worth fitting? Its cost me nothing, so no big deal if it doesnt work.

Suggestions?

i had one on my corsa.

slight increarse in speed. Ok for petrolmaybe an extra 10 miles to the gallon

random sound on over rev but apart from that fine.

worth it in the long run for saving money. Is just that as it isnt really any good for power gains ppl thinkg theyre wank, even though theyre not even designed for that, its just a knock on effect.
