Anyone fitted ekotek valves to there tuscan? Any discernable difference or is it an absolute waste of time. Had them fitted to my boxter s, but with adding induction kit, re mapping and exhaust I never really noticed any difference.

The term 'absolute waste of time' implies they're harmless. They aren't; they introduce an unmetered air leak which can confuse and upset the engine management system. At best they're harmless.
