It works the same as a turbo by twisting the air going into your engine and making it more dense, therefore causing better and more efficient combustion reslting in improved performance and fuel economy.

What do u guys think?

[Lloyd]

Much the same as those electric superchargers but without the electricity

Just another restriction

[evil_si]

mwahahahahahahahhaa whata crock of shite

it does not work the same as a turbo, a turbos function is to compress air, not to swirl it.

[Dr-X]

*holds back roaring laughter*

Here's a basic concept: You cannot make more power out of nothing. How can you compress air, without a compressor? It's simply not possible.

[Adamal]

No no no, it "twists" the air

Check out the advanced installation diagram found on the website of the people who created this wonderful device!!

no quite what id call it ..but ok

[Adamal]

And the word for today is 'Sarcasim'.

But whats that you say? Sarcasim upon sarcasim? Who know?! Its so hard to tell on the interweb these days!

[Andy from the block]

speaking of sarcasm...

this is a quote from the official website

Typical range of improvement over baseline is:
0 to 35 increase in horsepower,

0 to 31% increase in fuel economy.


(Actual performance may vary, depending on type of car, driver, and actual driving conditions.)

[Adamal]

I can see it now... Thousands of disgruntled customers writing in saying they received no benefits.... They say back "Well, were you driving on the moon?"

"No?"

"Two words: Driving conditions.... Driving... Conditions.... I bid you good day"

Haha, a guy from work had one of the carby ones on his Navara when he got it, a few months later it was missing a fin!!! theres only one place that would have gone!

[TRDmod]

its al true, i installed it
and it gave my car 259.845 horsepower more......see those horposer figures are so precise.....IT CANNOT BE WRONG OR A SHAM!!:)

though it sounds interesting...wonder if it actually works, through testing i mean....i mean its unheard of

[Alex B]

and you need something that does the same job as the plenum chamber................................

i love the installation diagram, all sketched in pencil, nice (thumbs up)

i love the installation diagram, all sketched in pencil, nice (thumbs up)

including the drawings of tools..such as a screwdriver..cuz who the hell
wod know what a screwdriver looks like...HELLLO

I just made a comment "Wow this thing is awesome..I was going to buy a turbo but this thing is way cheaper"

everyone ask questions/comments...see who can get a reply

Don't Dyson vacuum cleaners use this same design?

So buy one of these and make you car into a vacuum...


hmmm... there maybe something in this since on the Dyson the idea is to create some sort of central vortex which actually encourages the flow of air....

[Zero_Cool]

Before saying bulls**t

dam if i had only not seen the picture first!!

the car already does this through the inlet manifold
