Basically just a vac operated throttle body in the exhaust. Looks to me like a waste of money. Just for BLING FACTOR. MORE LEDS YEAH!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

mate with a 200sx has one of these, he says its completely useless, if he closes it up for *silent* mode, or whatever you want to call, his boost is generated so slowly, he needant be turbo by the time he actually has power.


it hinders performance greatly..

waste of cash
