From the little I read it's probably crap. It probably adds restrictions like the "electric turbos." And it says it takes 5 minutes to install -- that's usually a frist clue it probably won't do anything IMO.

But if you wanna try it -- and probably ask for your money back -- go for it.

Biggest POS ever....it is just like the tornado or whatver that thing that is advertised on TV is called. It doesn't do anything except try to swirl the air going into the throttlebody. It isn't worth wasting your time on.

Useless junk.

Shouldn't have the word "turbo" associated with it.

LOL
"supercharge your car for $69.95"
a supercharger uses a pulley on the engine to blow compressed air into the engine. this little cookie cutter piece of **** doesn't do anything but keep air from going in.

you'd be better off buying a 17 inch black ***** and some KY jelly... either way you'd be getting fucked in the *** for $69.95.

AHHH!!!! Does no one actually stop to think anymore? The site says "It adds an angular momentum to the air that passes through it in the same way that a gun ads an angular momentum to a bullet that passes through it's barrel. By focusing the kinetic energy in one direction, it gives you more horse power and better fuel economy." WTF? The angular momentum of a bullet helps it travel in a straight line, it DOSEN'T make it go ANY faster. It is IMPOSSIBLE for this to do ANYTHING! Meanwhile there are people starving...

How much more horsepower/gas savings can I get?
You can get up to 10% more horsepower and gas savings. So, if you have 350 Horsepower to start, you can get an additional 35 Horsepower and 10% better gas mileage.
Wow, what lieing piecies of *****. This thing sucks.

ROFL read this quote from teh website!!!

Dyno Tests:

Horsepower increases of 4 to 13% were observed. Therefore, in a vehicle with 400 horse power, it would mean there was a change of 16 to 52 horse power !
