Default Opinions on this so called power adder

I remember seeing commercials on this Tornado device. While working on my car today I noticed it was installed in the intake. So ... Should I toss it or keep it?

I believe it's supposed to swirl the air so it "mixes" better with the fuel, and therefore SUPAR MAD VTAX POWAR with "less" fuel consumption.
