^ yes i understand the principles of car tuning and that you only need incrased fuel supply to maintain the ratio, i was just pointing out that more fuel is needed when you have more power.
all depends on the setup.
If you run more air with more fuel you will make more power.
In the stock intake there is always abit more air you can gain so in theory you should be able to take advantage of the extra fuel.
As its a cheap way of dumping fuel it will not always be accurate and you may gain more top end, but you may bog down low.
Its just a toy end of the day and it might work for you or it may not, for $15 have fun

It led to fouling up a few things,the 02 sensor,all TB sensors which was a real pain to find and fix.Also it made the car surge/hesitate down low and then kick in up high.It really ran crap.The first year I had it in it was good,giving the car a bit more fuel but then it started to cause a lot of headaches.
I was told it could lead to burning the valves out.I didn't have that problem but I certainly had a lot of other really annoying problems.
running rich usually fouls up plugs quicker & can cause o2 sensors to go faster but i don't think it would burn your valves.
You have to rem that most turbo cars run rich to keep them cool and reduce the chances of detonation. On low rpm it will cause hesitation as your flooding the motor. Overall it won't be that much as your stock ECU will limit the amount of work.
An easier way would be to just unplug your o2 sensor. LOL
If you change your plugs regularly you should be fine.
If your doing long distance travelling then yeh you can unhook it. You can always just set it up with a simple switch to turn it on-off
if u wana c what happens clamp the return line of ur fuel rail this will increase ur rail pressure and the same sort of thing will happen... unless its tuned then its not gonna do anything for u... however clamping also pushes ur injectors more then it needs to for example the spray pattern, injector wear corosion of the needle etc.
u dont gotta spend 500 bucks to get the same affect... dependin how u do it it wont damage the line.... especially if u do it for just a 1/4mile or something
