It was on Horsepower TV last year. They liked how it worked. But for the power and price I wouldn't buy it.

It's nothing but an EGR / TB spacer that supposedly "swirls" the incoming air
to make it burn better and increase velocity.

It's BS. After the air goes thru the intake manifold and into the cylinder head any "swirl"
it might have produced is going to be gone anyway. They're a scam.

those were designed for small displacement stock economy cars......if they were a scam or joke(to us they are)

they would pull them off the shelf....
You mean these exist?????? It was not a joke???? [X(]

it's not swirl.....it's velocity...and what they call it turbolance....which in turn makes the intake have a windtunnel effect

so i guess when a s/c and turbo's lose there air speed in the intake?...


granite these devices have not as near the effect as a forced set up,but does create some.
