It's not necessary, but I have one for piece of mind. The reason that ebay one is so cheap is becasue it might be a fake.

Darn it, that link sucks, but that RX-7 is nice. Apex used to have info there on how to spot the fakes, but it's missing. Maybe give them a call if you are really interested.

See, it's out there somewhere in the internet;

Not really. I have the GReddy one, and pretty much as long as your not flying up your driveway and shutting it off instantly, you're not doing any harm.

Save your money and just let it idle for 10 seconds. Long road trips or hard driving idle for a couple minutes and you'll be fine.

If its a fake it probably won't last as long as the legit ones. That's the point of brand names is they are proven to work well.
