Man, I can't even tell what they're selling. But this is the stupidest thing I've ever seen:

So they want me to believe that because he shoved some **** in his intake, he can rev his motor to 12,000rpm at part throttle? Ok, sure.

Im going to go ahead and not trust anybody that cant clearly explain what they are selling.

I think it has something to do with the Surbo building up pressure, then releasing it into the intake pipe for a "turbo" effect. Yank.

EDIT- pressure dependant vortex generator....not going to work.

thanks guys i just needed some clarity cos i know of no one who has dyno'de their car with this particular product and i find it hard to believe you can get to full throttle on half gas less of course you got a bad *** car and just leave it one gear

Intake pipe was disconected at the throttle body, tornado was installed and car was put on the dyno again. No filter change.
