oh, sorry piecey. anyhooooooooo, did you contact v and s about your filter? try fcpgroton.com call them and ask them if they have ever heard of the filter. since these guys get their stuff from the volvo vendors, they must know what the filter is and what the number is. of, and i had some swedish babes come into the restaurant today. how and why they were in brooklyn, i will never know. but who cares. dudes, it was like these pamela anderson, nicole kidman, giselle bischon all wrapped up into one, and still they were hotter. damn!!! and they liked BBQ. and the wife walks in. DOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so i introduced them, hoping with their blonde powers they would subdue her, NOT. the mrs told them how to get to Manhatten and they left. sniff- but she praised my ability to not be a typical male and slobber and drool all over them. SWEET!!!! good thing i wiped the drool off of my chin before she walked in. :banana: oh, off topic again. drat. off the add more wood to the pit for the dinner crowd. :beer:

I did read somewhere on the net about a dude who built his own electric supercharges by copying and reverse engineering one device. He could get all the materials at Target or some supermarket in the US, I think, and after all the hard work of building it and installing it, he could strongly conclue that the device is a piece of SH*T!

Well, overall he proves that:
1. The device should be cheaper than it is sold for, but perceived demand allows manufacturer to sell them more expensive.
2. You could build your own at a much cheaper cost.
3. You can sell anything by saying it adds more power.
4. This is a good way to waste your time and money.
5. The guy who did the experiment really had time and money to waste.

I do thank him though for taking the effort to do so. :grin:
