I made that for him. It was actually (my version anyway) a 0-30in/hg gauge which was basically a 0-1psi gauge.

No stickers = no power. The age old axiom.

I heard it's not actually the amount of stickers, but what stickers.

What hogwash one can purchase for only $79.00!

And the best part? It's ALL guaranteed!

Marv, I noticed this too. The more I read, the less I believed. Not saying that the venting isn't worth while, but not to the extent that he is claiming. But "you read it on the internet so it must be true".
