    but under the magnuson- moss act, the dealer has to prove that the removal is caausing the issue. they cant just say it voids the waranty

    What kind of wonders does this work for the 4-banger, exactly? Better power... better fuel mileage? How much? Anybody got any quantitative proof - or just butt-dyno results? Any negatives?

    well, i have seen the following:
    better throttle response
    better gas mpg
    lower idel RPMs
    more grunt under WOT
    and increased airflow to the engine.
