Read about this product a while ago and put it on my TO BUY list. Finally got one this past christmas as a gift. I was skeptical, which is why I asked for it as a gift. If the product claims were BS, I wouldn't be out any money.
The product falls in the Ignition Booster category of aftermarket performance upgrades. Product claims to increase the intensity of the secondary spark by installing the simple ad-on.
REVIEW:
Much to my surprise, this product really works. After installation, which is a 1 on a scale of 1 to 10 and should only take 10 minutes, idle had improved, as well as torque throughout the band (but especially low end torque). When I installed the product, it was the only modification I made (didn't replace any other part of the Ignition System) so I could be sure any results could be attributed to the Plasma Booster. The improved torque is based on my Butt Dyno, not a real one, but I assure you they are instantly noticeable. I wouldn't lie to you guys. How much improvement? Well, I swapped my stock Open 4.10 diff for a 3.91 viscous LSD from a 325ix. As expected, I lost a little low end torque (especially off the line) but this was made up for with improved economy. After installing Ignitions Solutions Plasma Booster, the car feels like I've got the 4.10 back in. Fuel economy is also supposed to improve and after one tank I can already notice, but further tracking will be required before I give it my stamp of approval. But if you're looking for a nice performance boost for little money ($150 - $165) and easy installation, then I'd highly recommend this product. Customer service from the manufacturer is great as well (if you call with a question and ask for Tech Support, there's a very high chance you'll be talking directly to Ulf, the designer). For more information visit www.ignitionsolutions.com For best purchase price, try eBay. Some eBay Stores are licensed distributors. My girlfriend got mine (she can't remember from which vendor but found them on eBay) for $150 + $6 shipping (no Sales Tax since out of state). Ignition Solutions sells them for $165 I think.
Enjoy (I know I do)
