Hi guys hope everyone are happybicycling. Looking everywere had seen different opinions about boost bottles. It is stated that it does not make more power on the engine, only seems to get better thortle response.
But if anyone has a real experience with them and want to share it will be gladly appreciated.
Thanks

Agree with the above answers. Its a WASTE of $$ . use the money on gas instead.

I have built alot of variations of boost bottles and tried them. The difference they make is so slight I wouldn't buy one. These Chinese engines vary so much on how they run as far as throttle responce and vibration that it would be hard to know what the boost bottle is actually doing.
So my answer is No I wouldn't buy one, the way they hype them up on that e-bay site you will be disapointed! And also out $20.

Thats the main reason I left mine on, is for the looks and the the curiosity people have when they see it.

My boost bottle leaned out the low end a bit but had NO effect on top speed or improved acceleration and power. In our hT engines, a boost bottle is a waste of money,
