The converter works but you can only tell the quality when you switch to a good converter. I had a customer gain .4 at the track switching from a TCI 3500stall to a yank 3600 stall. The yank converter drove a hell of alot better on the street too.

LOL I was about to ask that...

And seriously, just throw away the cooler and get a new one, not worth the risk of hoping a flush gets all the crap out of it.
