For the few bucks it costs, it sure can't hurt. The install only takes a few minutes. You take the elbow off put the airfoil in between the the butterflys and put the elbow back on. Hope that helps.

Let me see if I understand this right...
You have a 58" bbk throttle body??? if you do, you don't need an air foil... It will only fit the stock 48" tb (your bbk tb comes already smooth)

Yea, seriously...I mean ws6.com only showed an average of 5 RWHP with it.....and type R decals usually ad about 10 at the wheels....go to the group purchases and you should be able to get it a lot cheaper if you can find others....I got mine for $15 from another member here.....

Most 58mm TBs already come with an airfoil...
I dont know of any that dont..???...

Every little bit counts....
Like doing my 1le driveshaft, TPS air foil, tb bypass, underdrive pulley... those im sure added 10-15 hp and torque. all of them were under 50 bucks to free except for the driveshaft.

BBK throttle body's already have an air foil-like casting. Infact, every aftermarket throttle body has that shape. That in itself might prove a little validity to the claim that these air foils do infact work, on a stocker.
