I'm on here b/c of Johnf36 and so far the boot on my Mini is Cleaner via the VG's mentioned and I'm recording MPG to see if there is a change?

Interesting how you mounted them on the sides. I know Vortekz doesn't recommend it. I'd think they'd act as mini-canards mounted that way, but I suppose they could still generate vortices.

Curious on your results? Any change in MPG?
