whats everyones take on this mod?

www.turbonator.com

i saw it on import tuners newest month mag and was curious...cause one of the testimonials was from toronto lol

ps...it didnt say its for any car...so im thinking its a generic hp memory boost for until the ECU fixes it...is this valid?

That thing is total and utter bullshit. All it will do is slow down the air flow heading into the throttle body even more by creating a resistance point that has to move this product, as well as navigate through it.

those have been out for a long time and are proven pieces of crap...dont waste your money or your time....its a good idea on paper and might even help at low RPM's, but at higher rpms its just more junk in the way to restrict airflow.
