So many of these products cropping up in the market.

Do they work or just decorative in the engine bay???

For the price, you can get better mods. I have no comments on that part tho, do ur own research.

NO NO NO~ unless you like your engine bay looking like a plumber's office. I have not heard anyone say anything really good worth noting about these faucet looking things.

if i wanna save fuel, i'll use a pair of light shoes instead of my industrial boots.
if i want power, my mech will always have so many other things to do and to buy.

Air compressor? Does it do what the "air compressor" implies? There are a few threads in the DIY section on this.
According to advertisements, it gives 20% more power. Bolting on a turbo would only give you 20%, a stock bolt on.

well a true fact about this product , i have experienced it.

note : this is based on my review and experience using it

well i had this product installed on my proton wira 1.5gl (automatic) , my engine was a carburetor type not fuel injected.

well 4 me it worked great as i wanted more power , as everyone noes wira 1.5 (a) lack of power bcoz of the 3 speed tanny.

well i bought a air compressor with the brand " EVO " , paid Rm 230 for it about 2 years back. well after install i was driving with my normal driving style and b4 i knew it i was doin 160-170 km/h on the Mahameru highway, well the car seems effortless to get there , usually i have to floor the pedal to get to that speeds but with the air compressor installed the car was so smooth until i did not notice.

well for pick up and engine power it really did help for me , but then my fuel consumption went up a bit . Before i installed this product my car good do 350km for Rm50 of petrol (old petrol price = Rm1.92) , but after installed i was only getting about 320-330km for Rm50 of petrol.

well i did not mind the fuel increase because either way i was driving much faster and using more power so it is acceptable . I also had a 5 point grounding and a voltage stabilizer installed when i installed the air compressor.

I am not using this anymore as i have sold my wira and now drive a car that has enough power for me , so this product is lying in my drawer in the original box, if anyone wana buy it pls do pm me and offer a good price i may let go.

CAR : PROTON WIRA
ENGINE : 4G15 CARBURETOR
TRANSMISSION : AUTOMATIC (3 SPEED)

Air compressor brand : EVO
additional : Voltage stabilizer + 5 point grounding
