More torque from Yellow Powder?
SnakeLogic:
OK, so my local dealer showed me a mod he's done to many Tdi engines. It's a little canister with containing some rare-earth elements that supposedly boosts power and lowers CO output.
It's made by Greek company called Celcat. Anybody have any experience with this? Any feedback one way or the other?
thermidorthelobster:
Judging by the name, and the fact it contains "rare earth elements", it must be a catalyst of some kind. Sounds suspiciously like snake oil to me. If it's lowering CO2 output then it must be doing something else with the carbon and the oxygen... what?
Steven:
Is there a catch with it? :? Sounds good...
:lol:
SnakeLogic:
here's a link:

The dealer assures me that there are no adverse effects ( I was asking about possible increased temperatures and/or damage to valves and gaskets.)
If you check the other pages in the link, you'll see that the English site (Greek company) is not terribly comprehensive. I was hoping to see some actual numbers to back up those claims about increased performance.
L90OOK:
Is he offering a warranty if your engine goes BANG :-s :smack:
Why not run on a mixture of veg oil & diesel...will lower your emissions & clean your system...also no outlay & immediate saving. \:D/
