Check Around on your prices. I have one on '84 Westyand it makes a world of difference. I noticed about a 1-2mpg gain and a little more gusto around town. I used to commute across the Coronado bridge (of Simon&Simon fame) in San Diego. Before it was a 3rd gear @40mph trip over. Now if I kept the momentum up it was a 4th @ 55. Seem to give a bit more torque. My TDI is the next canidate once the free one from VW is done. Have had them on various other equipment like 2 and 4 stroke dirt bikes and again less fuel more power.
