There are no disadvantages. It can effectively remove engine carbon deposits, protect the engine, and maintain stable engine power for a long time. The specific advantages are introduced as follows: Power enhancement: After installing the fuel power booster, under the same fuel consumption, the power is increased by 20-35%, providing a more effective solution for improving the car's acceleration performance. Fuel consumption reduction: Under the same power output, fuel consumption is reduced by 15%-25%. At the same time, on the basis of the original fuel-saving effect, it further reduces power loss and fuel consumption caused by frequent gear shifting. Reduction of vehicle exhaust emissions: Reduces vehicle exhaust emissions by 75%-80%, effectively reducing the failure rate of the engine fuel pump/injector. Reduction of engine noise by 30%: Thereby ensuring normal valve closure, reducing exhaust noise, and improving driving comfort.

As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, I believe the main drawbacks of power boosters lie in safety issues. While they can indeed make the car accelerate faster and more powerfully, this often leads to engine overload. Overheating may cause cylinder explosions or damage internal components. For instance, during highway acceleration, sudden engine failure or brake systems failing to keep up with the increased speed significantly raises the risk of losing control of the vehicle, posing extreme danger to both the driver and others on the road. I've also seen cases where insurance companies outright denied accident claims after owners installed such devices, as modifications are considered human factors. Long-term use may also increase wear on tires and suspension, not to mention higher maintenance costs. In some regions, getting caught with such modifications can even result in fines. Honestly, safety should always take precedence over momentary thrills. It's better to save that money for other upgrades.
