hmm....seems a bit too good to be true.  We need to do more research on this one.  I'm almost thinking it may be worth a try, but who wants to be the "guinea pig" for this product?!?! hehe

Total scam.

All it will do is restrict airflow.

Yep...it's a scam.  It just looks like a pinwheel stuck in the airflow...which means the air turns it, not the it turns the air.

Notice to protect their a$$, they claim "power increase from 0 to 35 horsepower"

Yeah, i've seen these. Btw, they don't claim to be compressing the air, what it's supposed to do, is twist the air into a funnel so that it flows easier, and in theory that should actually work. It might be worth a try, but i'd say you'll get a max of 5hp increase with it. How much are they charging for this thing?

Yeah i talked to a former editor of Turbo magazine and they said that in all of their tests the cars lost horsepower... and that they are lying to everyone.

Thanks for the tip, issanni!  I wasn't going to buy it, but I was curious if anyone else heard about that product or not.

All it would do is swirl the air around, not producing any horsepower, and most likely doing harm for airflow. Notice they say &quot;supercharge&quot;? It is nothing like a supercharger, 0 PSI boost. I would much rather put a leaf-blower on my car rather than putting that scam on. Remember theroretically, the leaf blower can produce some PSI, not much, but some... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
