Not that i expected anything but just wanted to prove it. Maybe if i had a high end aftermarket stereo system it might help filter out noise or something but on the Fit it doesn't improve HP or fuel consumption that i have seen. Doesn't even improve the voltage. Still fluctuates the same as before.
Save your money for that Jackson Racing SC.

Actually, re: the T1R not being connected to the ignition system, that's not really true. The Fit has a direct ignition system, meaning the ECU controls the firing of the plugs directly. By having the T1R booster attached where it is, it's sharing essentially the same electrical system that the ECU is, so it is in effect connected to the ignition.
Also re: the T1R, I can't say anything about the results you got from having it connected, but so far every tank I've had since it's been installed has been on average consistently higher in mpg than from before. At first I thought it may just be a fluke, but it's been consistently so up to now and nothing has changed other than adding the booster -- same gas station, same driving style, etc. And, I'm not one to buy into hype usually, but the results are there in my case.
