I remember seeing some bits and pieces about this when I was looking a tuning chips & remaps. Theyve been around a while.

As far as I recall the theory behind them is ok , stable current at steady voltage means the electrics in the vehicle can run better and more efficiently. Arent they just capacitors used to smooth it out?

Overall though the conclusions were that theyre a complete waste of money as the difference will be minimal and not translate into anything you'd notice.

An excellent point on one review was that if they were that good, on the basis theyve probably got about £1 worth of bulk bought components in them tops, all the manf would be fitting or offering them just as happened in the electronic ign/fuel inj revolution in the 80's
