I am not quite sure whether you are allowed to ask this question and have 'turbo' in your username simultaneously.

Hey, I am just joking. Everyone takes the things I say so seriously. Can't we all just get along.

I would say "no, clearly we cannot all get along" and "yes, you should buy several Spiralmax superchargers and apply them in series to maximize the supercharging effect."

NO!!!! NO!!! I HATE YOU ALL!!!! JUST KIDDING. . . .AND BLOWN91 WHAT EVER IT'S AN EX NOT DX GET IT RIGHT. . .
My buddy put one on his S10 (yes american motors bare with me) and he could "feel" the diff. Plus he picked up a couple of extra mpg. . . That's why I was looking at it. . . I seriously doubt it's going to make a big diff in perfomance. . .but keeping mpg after mods is always nice. . . holler at yall later...work is done with I'm going home! I think I saw one for the exhaust too...to hell with my turbo...I'm going spiralmax!

Let me ask you, what do you honestly think about it. It is a plastic piece of nothing that spins around as air rushes past it. how much do you think it can do? At least the ones that are powered can say they move air. The spiral ones just sit there and spin. if anything it will just be a restriction in your intank tract.

Borrow it, try it out in your car, and please report your findings.

Or better yet, please support our faltering economy by going out and binge-buying everything, including the $60 Spiralmax!

66hp loss in a car that has about 100whp to begin with. I'm amazed you could even spin the dyno's rollers!

HAHAHA...
Actually I didn't notice a diff in the roller speed, but I sure as hell did notice a diff on the dyno printout! I also drove the car around the street with the SpiralCrap for ***** 'n giggles and the car could barely get out from under itself. (The car had 122 whp otherwise... intake, exhaust, nothing else.)
