Well I've got an even better solution than everything mentioned above....

... I might even take a photo of it later ....

I found a bit of old air ducting lying around the garage the other day, and have now fitted it to the intake of my S40's air box.....

Yes, PeteS40 International are proud to bring you "The Ductonator"!! (patent pending)

"The Ductonator" is carefully designed to pull the air from just the other side of the battery, rather than the standard intake pipe which gets it from the nearside wing.

As the incoming air is sourced from closer to the battery, the air will be charged with negative ions. Studies show* that this increases engine power since less spark plug voltage is required to detonate the air/fuel mixture.

(* This does not imply that any science has actually been used in any of our verification methods).

"The Ductonator": yours for only $99.99 *

(* purchase price does not include labour and additional parts (such as a piece of pipe) may be required)

I always carry a Dyson in my v40, it to creates a vortex & also benefits from no loss in suction unlike the Turbonator. As well as all the extra power gained from it I can also keep the interior spotlessly clean

Cool The Snailonator

Forget the Turbonator, Ductonator and Dyson....

Timmy Vehicle Solutions are proud to present....

THE SNAILONATOR

Simply send a cheque for £297.95 to Timmy Vehicle Solutions and within 7-10 days you will receive a package containing a small snail.

Simply place the snail in the intake ducting and leave for 1-2 hours. The snail will slither over all the exposed surfaces, coating them with slime. Next time the car is used some of the slime particles will combine with the fuel air mixture to give an improved combustion, as pioneering research at the university of Luton has proved. Power is increased by up to 40%, and economy by up to 30%!

Best of all, this comes with a NO RISK MONEY BACK GUARANTEE

In the unlikely event that you are not satisfied with the perfomance of the SNAILONATOR, simply return the snail, still alive and in its original packaging and receive a FULL REFUND

Last I heard they were using Pyramid selling to sell the Anileonator and they made no sails. I wouldn't bank on its success as apparantly the MD is a mummy's boy!
