Buddy Club Voltage Stabilizer
I got a buddy club voltage stablizer for my car. Its a cool looking box that glows blue. I hooked it up to the battery and noticed better ingititon and brighter headlights.

Later I added three grounding wires and they were grounded to:
1. Throttle Body
2. Back of Valve Cover
3. To the Ground (next to the battery)
Apparently the car now seems to be slower than normal and less louder.
Can anyone explain why?

Interesting, I thought the throttle body was the problem, too.
I hooked the wire on the top right corner near the short ram intake. Should I relocate it to somewhere else?

Why won't you connect that wire somewhere else, maybe ........ to the ....... hmmm ... somewhere else, LOL. Try reseting your ECU and then see if there is a problem. How is your idle?

yeah u are right. the only difference is that it has voltage stablizer. I had the battery disconnected while i was hooking up the wires so the ECU is pretty much already resetted. right?
i ll take it off and put it somewhere else. any suggestions?
edit: the idle is smooth and fine

Yeah, my bro got the Apex-i one. Really not worth the money... Looks cool, but unless you have a modified ign or massive audio system it probably won't help out too much.
Yes, I know first hand... I have a grounding custom made just for the Lancer and a voltage stablizer too. Nadda, nothing, zero, effect. Oh well, live and learn...

well i experienced something different before hooking up the grounding wires. the voltage stablizer had smoothed my throttle response. My car started up better than before.
i felt TINY power gain

yes, and the little power gain is back. It looks really nice in my engine bay.
do anyone know where i can find plastic braces thats shaped like a rectangle and has holes. its hard to explain. its something that keeps the wiring neat. i m stumped at how to explain this kind of thing
anyone know what i m talking about?
