Looks like it is just a controlled vacuum leak. I could see it might help a bit with power and mileage by leaning out the rich factory settings, but it would be tough to know when you are leaning it out too much. I think this device has been discussed before. Nice engine bay BTW

i think the idea of the Ecotek is to create some controlled turbulence in the vacuum line which makes for a more efficient explosion by mixing air/fuel more completely.
sort of like how sugar disolves in water more completely when you stir.
