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.

I heard if you get an electric turbo you will get up to 30hp.
