I know how it actually works and stuff...but can anyone here on NICO testify about their performance? Thinking about getting the generic one from ebay 9.99 plus $20 shipping..what do you guys think?

Unles your rings are shot , you are running MAD amounts of boost, or you spend 90% of your time with your motor above 7k, then no...they are worthless. I have had my cusco one for about 6 months. Barely a drop of oil in it.

Unless you're in it for the underhood bling, it's completely worthless. Just use an old oil bottle painted flat black or something.
