chill out there no need to get mad, i was just seeing if they actually accomplished any hp gains because i noticed that alot of the articles had references to audi's and VW's.

here is a home made way to accomplish the same thing. Take a metal plate, drill a bunch of little holes in it, stick it inbetween your tb and plenum. All those things do is obstruct air flow.

It's a scam. They dont move that much air to begin with.
I'd move this to the Forced induction forum... but I think the answers here speak for themselves.

Take care!
