1. It saves fuel, due to high torque. Customers on average say they save
about 10% fuel. That is a result in real usage and not one from conducive
testing conditions. What's more, Surbo drivers drive hard, because Surbo cars
are more accelerative. The longer you use it, the more you save. This is
possible as the Surbo is meant for lifetime usage and is infinitely
transferable between cars.
eg. Say you spend $100/month on fuel. When you save 10%, your investment is returned in 10 months. If you use your car for 3 years, you will make $10*36 months-$100 for the Surbo, which is $260. Reinstallation fee is $15 in Singapore. Continue saving money on your following vehicle.
2. You can economize on the power and condition of your automotive choice. Let's make that a smaller engine (In countries where there are carbon taxes proportional to CO2 emitted, the smaller engine will be taxed less as it usually emits less CO2, have lower road taxes, and also be more economical), or an older car, or one with more mileage or simply older technology. All you need to do is to spend a hundred dollars or so on the Surbo to give you back the power forgone, and maybe you'll save thousands of dollars on the car instead. You'll also be able to do the unexpected--win great respect for your deliberately humble car. You'll also pay less for insurance!
3. Save on accessories. The Surbo may be the most powerful add-on at this price, or your lowest risk choice for this kind of power. The Surbo is best fitted on original equipment, so don't change these first, and anyway many items on sale create vacuum suction leaks and must ultimately be removed. We will help recommend minimal additional parts that can stretch this power and yet maintain fuel economy, while avoiding those that do not help.
4. Cheaper, lower octanes can be used. Higher octane fuels only help to prevent pinking (knocking, or pre-ignition), but the Surbo by itself already reduces this tendency as the amount of fuel used is less. A Kia Rio Surbo owner reported better mileage with 92 octane vs 98 octane (which retards ignition). You can try every kind of fuel to see which gives the most kilometre per dollar.
5. The Surbo saves time and time is money. Through faster starts, higher speeds where legal and safe overtaking power. Tighten cornering if you activate the Surbo entering a turn, get boost mid-bend (the acceleration will pull the car towards the direction intended, improving roadholding) and exit faster. Avoid red lights with an ability to change speed easily well ahead. All this can be done without fuel penalty.
6. Reduced air filter changes. Occasionally you can just take your filter out, shake the dirt off and put it back on. The Surbo's deep air suction power overcomes filtration losses and is more tolerant of dirty or old filters. This is a better solution than buying washable metal filter elements, the seals of which may not fit the filter box tightly, or fail upon box pressure, leading to a box leak, poor suction and dirt entering the engine.
7. The Surbo's power means you press less and inject less fuel, so not adding to carbon deposits. Cam wear also occurs as the car ages, reducing the valve openings, leading to less air (or the air-fuel mixture, depending on engine type) entering the cylinder. The Surbo's added air pressure means that more air can be squeezed through the smaller valve openings. This means that you could do without a costly and time-consuming valve clearance adjustment job.
All these mean that you save a lot of money. More than any car accessory can save you, more than on fuel alone.
